Job 35
1 And he answered Elihu and he said.
Then Elihu continued, saying,
2 ¿ This do you consider to justice you have said righteousness my [is] more than God.
“Do you think it's honest to claim you are right before God?
3 For you say what? will it be of use to you what? will I profit from sin my.
And you ask, ‘What benefit do I get? What good has it done me by not sinning?’
4 I I will respond to you words and friends your with you.
I'll tell you, and your friends too!
5 Look at [the] heavens and see and observe [the] clouds they are high more than you.
Just look up at the sky and see. Observe the clouds high above you.
6 If you have sinned what? do you do in him and they have been many transgressions your what? do you do to him.
If you sin, how does that harm God? How do your many sins affect God?
7 If you have been righteous what? do you give to him or what? from hand your does he receive.
If you do what's right, what good are you doing for him?
8 [is] for A person like yourself wickedness your and [is] for a child of humankind righteousness your.
No—your sins only affect people like yourself, and whatever good you do only affects them too.
9 From a multitude of oppression people cry out they cry for help from [the] arm of great [people].
People cry out because of terrible persecution; they call for someone to save them from their oppressors.
10 And not anyone has said where? [is] God maker my [who] gives songs in the night.
But no one asks, ‘Where is the God my maker, the one who gives songs in the night,
11 [who] teaches Us more than [the] animals of [the] earth and more than [the] bird[s] of the heavens he makes wise us.
who teaches us more than the animals, and makes us wiser than the birds?’
12 There they cry out and not he answers because of [the] pride of wicked [people].
When they call out for help, God doesn't answer because they are proud and evil people.
13 Surely emptiness not he hears - God and [the] Almighty not he observes it.
God doesn't listen to their empty cries; the Almighty doesn't pay them any attention.
14 Indeed? if you will say not you observe him [the] case [is] before him so you may wait for him.
How much less will God hear you when you say he can't see you? Your case is before him, so you have to wait for him.
15 And now that not it has punished anger his and not he knows in folly exceedingly.
You're saying that God doesn't punish people in his anger and pays little attention to sin.
16 And Job vanity he opens mouth his with not knowledge words he multiplies.
You, Job, are talking nonsense, making long speeches when you know nothing!”
