< Job 35 >
1 and to answer Elihu and to say
Moreover Elihu, responded and said: —
2 this to devise: think to/for justice to say righteousness my from God
This, dost thou think to be right? Thou hast said—My righteousness is more than GOD’S.
3 for to say what? be useful to/for you what? to gain from sin my
For thou dost say, How can one profit by thee? How can I benefit, more than by my sin?
4 I to return: return you speech and [obj] neighbor your with you
I, will answer thee plainly, and thy friends with thee.
5 to look heaven and to see: see and to see cloud to exult from you
Look at the heavens and see, —and survey the skies—they are higher than thou.
6 if to sin what? to work in/on/with him and to multiply transgression your what? to make: do to/for him
If thou sinnest, what canst thou work against him? Or, if thy transgressions be multiplied, what canst thou do unto him?
7 if to justify what? to give: give to/for him or what? from hand your to take: recieve
If thou art righteous, what canst thou give unto him? Or what, at thy hand, can he accept?
8 to/for man like you wickedness your and to/for son: child man righteousness your
Unto a man like thyself, might thy lawlessness [reach], and, unto a son of the earth-born, thy righteousness.
9 from abundance oppression to cry out to cry from arm many
By reason of the multitude of oppressions, [men] make outcry, They cry for help, by reason of the arm of the mighty;
10 and not to say where? god to make me to give: give song in/on/with night
But none saith—Where is GOD my maker, Who giveth songs in the night;
11 to teach/learn us from animal land: soil and from bird [the] heaven be wise us
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and, beyond the bird of the heavens, giveth us wisdom?
12 there to cry and not to answer from face: because pride bad: evil
There, [men] make outcry, and he answereth not, because of the arrogance of evil-doers.
13 surely vanity: vain not to hear: hear God and Almighty not to see her
Howbeit, vanity, will GOD not hear, Yea, the Almighty, will not regard 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 when thou sayest thou wilt not regard him! The cause, is before him, and thou must wait for him.
15 and now for nothing to reckon: punish face: anger his and not to know in/on/with folly much
But, now, because it is not so, [thou sayest] —His anger hath punished, and yet hath he not at all known of transgression;
16 and Job vanity to open lip his in/on/with without knowledge speech to multiply
Thus, Job, vainly openeth his mouth, Without knowledge, he multiplieth words.
