Giobbe 35:11-16

11 che ci fa più intelligenti delle bestie de’ campi e più savi degli uccelli del cielo?"

12 Si grida, sì, ma egli non risponde, a motivo della superbia dei malvagi.

13 Certo, Dio non dà ascolto a lamenti vani; l’Onnipotente non ne fa nessun caso.

14 E tu, quando dici che non lo scorgi, la causa tua gli sta dinanzi; sappilo aspettare!

15 Ma ora, perché la sua ira non punisce, perch’egli non prende rigorosa conoscenza delle trasgressioni,

16 Giobbe apre vanamente le labbra e accumula parole senza conoscimento".

Giobbe 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.
