Job 35

1 Moreover, Elihu {spoke up} and said,

1 Then Elihu said:

2 "Do you think this [is] justice when you say, '{I am right} before God'?

2 “Do you think this is just? You say, ‘I am in the right, not God.’

3 If you ask what it profits you: 'How do I benefit {by refraining from my sin}?'

3 Yet you ask him, ‘What profit is it to me,and what do I gain by not sinning?’

4 I myself {will give answer to you} and [to] your friends with you.

4 “I would like to reply to you and to your friends with you.

5 "Look at [the] heavens, and see; and observe [the] clouds [that] are higher than you.

5 Look up at the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds so high above you.

6 If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him? And [if] your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?

6 If you sin, how does that affect him? If your sins are many, what does that do to him?

7 If you are righteous, what do you give to him, or what does he receive from your hand?

8 Your wickedness [affects] a person like yourself, and your righteousness [affects] humans.

8 Your wickedness only affects humans like yourself, and your righteousness only other people.

9 "Because of [the] multitude of oppressions, they cry out; they cry for help because of [the] arm of [the] mighty.

9 “People cry out under a load of oppression; they plead for relief from the arm of the powerful.

10 But no one says, 'Where [is] God my Maker, [who] gives songs in the night,

10 But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,

11 [who] teaches us more than [the] animals of [the] earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?'

11 who teaches us more than he teaches the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds in the sky?’

12 There they cry out, but he does not answer {because of the pride of evildoers}.

12 He does not answer when people cry out because of the arrogance of the wicked.

13 "Surely God does not hear an empty plea, and Shaddai does not regard it.

13 Indeed, God does not listen to their empty plea; the Almighty pays no attention to it.

14 {How much less} [when] you say [that] you do not see him, that [the] case [is] {before him}, and you are waiting for him!

14 How much less, then, will he listen when you say that you do not see him, that your case is before him and you must wait for him,

15 But now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not acknowledge the transgression at all,

15 and further, that his anger never punishes and he does not take the least notice of wickedness.

16 {therefore} Job opens his mouth in empty talk-- without knowledge he multiplies words."

16 So Job opens his mouth with empty talk; without knowledge he multiplies words.”
