| Job 35: (KJV) |
| 1) Elihu spake moreover, and said, |
| 2) Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's? |
| 3) For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin? |
| 4) I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. |
| 5) Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. |
| 6) If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? |
| 7) If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? |
| 8) Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son 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. |
| 10) But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; |
| 11) Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? |
| 12) There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. |
| 13) Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. |
| 14) Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore 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: |
| 16) Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge. |
