Job 35:9-16

9 »La gente clama al ser oprimida;
gime bajo el peso de los poderosos.

10 Sin embargo, no preguntan: “¿Dónde está Dios, mi Creador,
el que da canciones en la noche?

11 ¿Dónde está el que nos hace más inteligentes que los animales
y más sabios que las aves de los cielos?”.

12 Cuando claman, Dios no les responde
a causa de la soberbia de ellos,

13 pero es un error decir que Dios no escucha,
que al Todopoderoso no le importa.

14 Tú dices que no puedes verlo,
sin embargo, si esperas, te hará justicia.

15 Dices que Dios no responde con enojo a los pecadores
y que no le importa mucho la perversidad.

16 Pero Job, hablas tonterías;
has hablado como un necio».

Job 35:9-16 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.
