Job 35:4-14

Listen to Job 35:4-14
4 Je te répondrai en mes discours, et à tes amis avec toi:
5 Regarde les cieux, et les considĂšre; vois les nues, elles sont plus hautes que toi.
6 Si tu pÚches, quel effet produis-tu sur lui? et si tes péchés se multiplient, qu'est-ce que tu lui fais?
7 Si tu es juste, que lui donnes-tu, et que reçoit-il de ta main?
8 C'est Ă  un homme tel que toi que ta mĂ©chancetĂ© peut nuire, et au fils de l'homme que ta justice peut ĂȘtre utile.
9 On crie sous le poids de l'oppression, on gémit sous la violence des grands,
10 Et l'on ne dit pas: OĂč est Dieu, mon crĂ©ateur, celui qui donne de quoi chanter dans la nuit,
11 Qui nous rend plus instruits que les bĂȘtes de la terre, et plus sages que les oiseaux des cieux?
12 Ils crient donc sans ĂȘtre exaucĂ©s, Ă  cause de l'orgueil des mĂ©chants.
13 Dieu n'écoute pas ce qui n'est que mensonge, et le Tout-Puissant n'y a point égard.
14 Quoique tu aies dit que tu ne le vois pas, le procĂšs est devant lui: attends-le!

Job 35:4-14 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.
