Job 35

1 Elihu spake moreover, and said,

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιους λέγει

2 Thinkest thou this to be right, [that] thou saidst, My righteousness [is] more than God’s?

τί τοῦτο ἡγήσω ἐν κρίσει σὺ τίς εἶ ὅτι εἶπας δίκαιός εἰμι ἔναντι κυρίου

3 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? [and], What profit shall I have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin?

ἢ ἐρεῖς τί ποιήσω ἁμαρτών

4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

ἐγὼ σοὶ δώσω ἀπόκρισιν καὶ τοῖς τρισὶν φίλοις σου

5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds [which] are higher than thou.

ἀνάβλεψον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἰδέ κατάμαθε δὲ νέφη ὡς ὑψηλὰ ἀπὸ σοῦ

6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or [if] thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

εἰ ἥμαρτες τί πράξεις εἰ δὲ καὶ πολλὰ ἠνόμησας τί δύνασαι ποιῆσαι

7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?

ἐπεὶ δὲ οὖν δίκαιος εἶ τί δώσεις αὐτῷ ἢ τί ἐκ χειρός σου λήμψεται

8 Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou [art; ] and thy righteousness [may profit] the son of man.

ἀνδρὶ τῷ ὁμοίῳ σου ἡ ἀσέβειά σου καὶ υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου

9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make [the oppressed] to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.

ἀπὸ πλήθους συκοφαντούμενοι κεκράξονται βοήσονται ἀπὸ βραχίονος πολλῶν

10 But none saith, Where [is] God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;

καὶ οὐκ εἶπεν ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας με ὁ κατατάσσων φυλακὰς νυκτερινάς

11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

ὁ διορίζων με ἀπὸ τετραπόδων γῆς ἀπὸ δὲ πετεινῶν οὐρανοῦ

12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.

ἐκεῖ κεκράξονται καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ καὶ ἀπὸ ὕβρεως πονηρῶν

13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

ἄτοπα γὰρ οὐ βούλεται ὁ κύριος ἰδεῖν αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ παντοκράτωρ ὁρατής ἐστιν

14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, [yet] judgment [is] before him; therefore trust thou in him.

τῶν συντελούντων τὰ ἄνομα καὶ σώσει με κρίθητι δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ εἰ δύνασαι αἰνέσαι αὐτόν ὡς ἔστιν

15 But now, because [it is] not [so], he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth [it] not in great extremity:

καὶ νῦν ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπισκεπτόμενος ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω παραπτώματι σφόδρα

16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

καὶ Ιωβ ματαίως ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγνωσίᾳ ῥήματα βαρύνει
