Job - king james
Chapter 35
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.

Chapter 35
1 Moreover Eliu spoke these words :
2 Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say : I am more just than God?
3 For thou saidst : That which is right doth not please thee : or what will it profit thee if I sin?
4 Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.
5 Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.
6 If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?
7 And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?
8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee : and thy justice may help the son of man.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they shall cry out : and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants.
10 And he hath not said : Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night?
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air.
12 There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men.
13 God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one.
14 Yea when thou shalt say : He considereth not : be judged before him, and expect him.
15 For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.
16 Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.

Chapter 35
1 Elihu answered,
2 you think this to be your right, or do you say, 'My righteousness is more than God's,'
3 you ask, 'What advantage will it be to you? What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?'
4 will answer you, and your companions with you.
5 to the heavens, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you.
6 you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
7 you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand?
8 wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit a son of man.
9 reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10 none says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
11 teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?'
12 they cry, but none gives answer, because of the pride of evil men.
13 God will not hear an empty cry, neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 much less when you say you don't see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!
15 now, because he has not visited in his anger, neither does he greatly regard arrogance.
16 Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge."

Chapter 35
1 Moreover Elihu answered and said,
2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than ùGod's?
3 For thou hast asked of what profit it is unto thee: what do I gain more than if I had sinned?
4 I will reply to thee in words, and to thy companions with thee.
5 Look unto the heavens and see; and survey the skies: they are higher than thou.
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou to him? or what doth he receive of thy hand?
8 Thy wickedness [may affect] a man as thou [art], and thy righteousness a son of man.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they 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 fowl of the heavens?
12 There they cry, and he answereth not, because of the pride of evil men.
13 Surely ùGod will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 Although thou sayest thou dost not see him, judgment is before him, therefore wait for him.
15 But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, doth not [Job] know [his] great arrogancy?
16 For Job hath opened his mouth in vanity, and made words abundant without knowledge.

3 That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? [And], What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?

Chapter 35
1 And Elihu made answer and said,
2 Does it seem to you to be right, and righteousness before God, to say,
3 What profit is it to me, and how am I better off than if I had done wrong?
4 I will make answer to you and to your friends:
5 Let your eyes be turned to the heavens, and lifted up to see the skies; they are higher than you.
6 If you have done wrong, is he any the worse for it? and if your sins are great in number, what is it to him?
7 If you are upright, what do you give to him? or what does he take from your hand?
8 Your evil-doing may have an effect on a man like yourself, or your righteousness on a son of man.
9 Because the hand of the cruel is hard on them, men are making sounds of grief; they are crying out for help because of the arm of the strong.
10 But no one has said, Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night;
11 Who gives us more knowledge than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heaven?
12 There they are crying out because of the pride of the evil-doers, but he gives them no answer.
13 But God will not give ear to what is false, or the Ruler of all take note of it;
14 How much less when you say that you do not see him; that the cause is before him, and you are waiting for him.
15 And now ... ;
16 And Job's mouth is open wide to give out what is of no profit, increasing words without knowledge.
