Job 35:11-16

11 Que nos enseña más que á las bestias de la tierra, Y nos hace sabios más que las aves del cielo?
12 Allí clamarán, y él no oirá, Por la soberbia de los malos.
13 Ciertamente Dios no oirá la vanidad, Ni la mirará el Omnipotente.
14 Aunque más digas, No lo mirará; Haz juicio delante de él, y en él espera.
15 Mas ahora, porque en su ira no visita, Ni conoce con rigor,
16 (35-15) Por eso Job abrió su boca vanamente, Y multiplica palabras sin sabiduría.

Job 35:11-16 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 35

Is this chapter Elihu goes on to charge Job with other unbecoming speeches, which he undertakes to refute; as that he had represented his cause more just than God's, and religion and righteousness as things unprofitable to men, only to God; to which Elihu takes upon him to make answer, Job 35:1-8; and that the cries of the oppressed were not heard by the Lord, so as to give occasion to songs of praise and thankfulness, to which he replies, Job 35:9-13; and that Job had expressed diffidence and despair of ever seeing and enjoying the favour of God, which he endeavours to remove, Job 35:14-16.
