The Bible - The King James Version - Job 35
- Elihu spake moreover, and said,
- Thinkest thou this to be right, [that] thou saidst, My righteousness [is] more than God's?
- For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? [and], What profit shall I have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin?
- I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
- Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds [which] are higher than thou.
- If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or [if] thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
- If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
- Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou [art]; and thy righteousness [may profit] the son of man.
- By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make [the oppressed] to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
- But none saith, Where [is] God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
- Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
- There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
- Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
- Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, [yet] judgment [is] before him; therefore trust thou in him.
- But now, because [it is] not [so], he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth [it] not in great extremity:
- Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
