engKJVCPB: Job 35

=> Chapters

 [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.
