Job 35

1 and to answer Elihu and to say

And Elihu went on to say:

2 this to devise: think to/for justice to say righteousness my from God

“Do you think this is just? You say, ‘I am more righteous than God.’

3 for to say what? be useful to/for you what? to gain from sin my

For you ask, ‘What does it profit me, and what benefit do I gain apart from sin?’

4 I to return: return you speech and [obj] neighbor your with you

I will reply to you and to your friends as well.

5 to look heaven and to see: see and to see cloud to exult from you

Look to the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds high above you.

6 if to sin what? to work in/on/with him and to multiply transgression your what? to make: do to/for him

If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? If you multiply your transgressions, what do you do to Him?

7 if to justify what? to give: give to/for him or what? from hand your to take: recieve

If you are righteous, what do you give Him, or what does He receive from your hand?

8 to/for man like you wickedness your and to/for son: child man righteousness your

Your wickedness affects only a man like yourself, and your righteousness only a son of man.

9 from abundance oppression to cry out to cry from arm many

Men cry out under great oppression; they plead for relief from the arm of the mighty.

10 and not to say where? god to make me to give: give song in/on/with night

But no one asks, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives us songs in the night,

11 to teach/learn us from animal land: soil and from bird [the] heaven be wise us

who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?’

12 there to cry and not to answer from face: because pride bad: evil

There they cry out, but He does not answer, because of the pride of evil men.

13 surely vanity: vain not to hear: hear God and Almighty not to see her

Surely God does not listen to empty pleas, and the Almighty does not take note of it.

14 also for to say not to see him judgment to/for face: before his and to twist: anticipate to/for him

How much less, then, when you say that you do not see Him, that your case is before Him and you must wait for Him,

15 and now for nothing to reckon: punish face: anger his and not to know in/on/with folly much

and further, that in His anger He has not punished or taken much notice of folly!

16 and Job vanity to open lip his in/on/with without knowledge speech to multiply

So Job opens his mouth in vain and multiplies words without knowledge.”
