Job 35

1 Elihu spoke moreover, and said,

Elihu spake moreouer, and said,

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

Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?

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

For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?

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

Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.

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

Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.

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

If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?

7 If thou art righteous, what givest thou to him? or what receiveth he from thy hand?

If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?

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

Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.

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.

They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.

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

But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?

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

Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.

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

Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.

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

Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.

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

Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.

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

But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,

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

Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
