Job 35
1 igitur Heliu haec rursum locutus est
Elihu spake moreouer, and said,
2 numquid aequa tibi videtur tua cogitatio ut diceres iustior Deo sum
Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?
3 dixisti enim non tibi placet quod rectum est vel quid tibi proderit si ego peccavero
For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?
4 itaque ego respondebo sermonibus tuis et amicis tuis tecum
Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.
5 suspice caelum et intuere et contemplare aethera quod altior te sit
Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.
6 si peccaveris quid ei nocebis et si multiplicatae fuerint iniquitates tuae quid facies contra eum
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?
7 porro si iuste egeris quid donabis ei aut quid de manu tua accipiet
If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?
8 homini qui similis tui est nocebit impietas tua et filium hominis adiuvabit iustitia tua
Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.
9 propter multitudinem calumniatorum clamabunt et heiulabunt propter vim brachii tyrannorum
They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.
10 et non dixit ubi est Deus qui fecit me qui dedit carmina in nocte
But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?
11 qui docet nos super iumenta terrae et super volucres caeli erudit nos
Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.
12 ibi clamabunt et non exaudiet propter superbiam malorum
Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.
13 non ergo frustra audiet Deus et Omnipotens singulorum causas intuebitur
Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.
14 etiam cum dixeris non considerat iudicare coram eo et expecta eum
Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.
15 nunc enim non infert furorem suum nec ulciscitur scelus valde
But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,
16 ergo Iob frustra aperit os suum et absque scientia verba multiplicat
Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
