Job 35

1 And Elihu answers and says:

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιους λέγει

2 “Have you reckoned this for judgment [when] you have said, My righteousness [is] more than God’s?

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

3 For you say, What does it profit You? What do I profit from my sin?

ἢ ἐρεῖς τί ποιήσω ἁμαρτών

4 I return words, and your friends with you,

ἐγὼ σοὶ δώσω ἀπόκρισιν καὶ τοῖς τρισὶν φίλοις σου

5 Behold attentively the heavens—and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than you.

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

6 If you have sinned, what do you do against Him? And your transgressions have been multiplied, What do you do to Him?

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

7 If you have been righteous, What do you give to Him? Or what does He receive from your hand?

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

8 For a man like yourself [is] your wickedness, And for a son of man your righteousness.

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

9 Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.

ἀπὸ πλήθους συκοφαντούμενοι κεκράξονται βοήσονται ἀπὸ βραχίονος πολλῶν

10 And none said, Where [is] God my Maker? Giving songs in the night,

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

11 Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Indeed, He makes us wiser than the bird of the heavens.

ὁ διορίζων με ἀπὸ τετραπόδων γῆς ἀπὸ δὲ πετεινῶν οὐρανοῦ

12 There they cry, and He does not answer, Because of the pride of evildoers.

ἐκεῖ κεκράξονται καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ καὶ ἀπὸ ὕβρεως πονηρῶν

13 Surely God does not hear vanity, And the Mighty does not behold it.

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

14 Indeed, though you say you do not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stays for Him.

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

15 And now, because there is not, He has appointed His anger, And He has not known in great extremity.

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

16 And Job opens his mouth [with] vanity, He multiplies words without knowledge.”

καὶ Ιωβ ματαίως ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγνωσίᾳ ῥήματα βαρύνει
