The Book of Job 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 ⚑
