Job 35

The Message Bible MSG

1 Elihu lit into Job again:

2 "Does this kind of thing make any sense? First you say, 'I'm perfectly innocent before God.'

3 And then you say, 'It doesn't make a bit of difference whether I've sinned or not.'

4 "Well, I'm going to show you that you don't know what you're talking about, neither you nor your friends.

5 Look up at the sky. Take a long hard look. See those clouds towering above you?

6 If you sin, what difference could that make to God? No matter how much you sin, will it matter to him?

7 Even if you're good, what would God get out of that? Do you think he's dependent on your accomplishments?

8 The only ones who care whether you're good or bad are your family and friends and neighbors. God's not dependent on your behavior.

9 "When times get bad, people cry out for help. They cry for relief from being kicked around,

10 But never give God a thought when things go well, when God puts spontaneous songs in their hearts,

11 When God sets out the entire creation as a science classroom, using birds and beasts to teach wisdom.

12 People are arrogantly indifferent to God - until, of course, they're in trouble, and then God is indifferent to them.

13 There's nothing behind such prayers except panic; the Almighty pays them no mind.

14 So why would he notice you just because you say you're tired of waiting to be heard,

15 Or waiting for him to get good and angry and do something about the world's problems?

16 "Job, you talk sheer nonsense - nonstop nonsense!"

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 igitur Heliu haec rursum locutus est

2 numquid aequa tibi videtur tua cogitatio ut diceres iustior Deo sum

3 dixisti enim non tibi placet quod rectum est vel quid tibi proderit si ego peccavero

4 itaque ego respondebo sermonibus tuis et amicis tuis tecum

5 suspice caelum et intuere et contemplare aethera quod altior te sit

6 si peccaveris quid ei nocebis et si multiplicatae fuerint iniquitates tuae quid facies contra eum

7 porro si iuste egeris quid donabis ei aut quid de manu tua accipiet

8 homini qui similis tui est nocebit impietas tua et filium hominis adiuvabit iustitia tua

9 propter multitudinem calumniatorum clamabunt et heiulabunt propter vim brachii tyrannorum

10 et non dixit ubi est Deus qui fecit me qui dedit carmina in nocte

11 qui docet nos super iumenta terrae et super volucres caeli erudit nos

12 ibi clamabunt et non exaudiet propter superbiam malorum

13 non ergo frustra audiet Deus et Omnipotens singulorum causas intuebitur

14 etiam cum dixeris non considerat iudicare coram eo et expecta eum

15 nunc enim non infert furorem suum nec ulciscitur scelus valde

16 ergo Iob frustra aperit os suum et absque scientia verba multiplicat
