Job Chapter 35

35 : 1 Elihu spoke moreover, and said,

35 : 2 Think you this to be right, that you said, My righteousness is more than God's?

35 : 3 For you said, What advantage will it be to you? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?

35 : 4 I will answer you, and your companions with you.

35 : 5 Look to the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than you.

35 : 6 If you sin, what do you against him? or if your transgressions be multiplied, what do you to him?

35 : 7 If you be righteous, what give you him? or what receives he of your hand?

35 : 8 Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are; and your righteousness may profit the son of man.

35 : 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.

35 : 10 But none said, Where is God my maker, who gives songs in the night;

35 : 11 Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

35 : 12 There they cry, but none gives answer, because of the pride of evil men.

35 : 13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

35 : 14 Although you say you shall not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust you in him.

35 : 15 But now, because it is not so, he has visited in his anger; yet he knows it not in great extremity:

35 : 16 Therefore does Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplies words without knowledge.
