“1 Elihu spake moreover, and said, 2 Thinkest thou this to be right,
[that] thou saidst, My righteousness [is] more than God’s? 3 For thou
saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? [and], What profit shall I
have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin? 4 I will answer thee, and thy
companions with thee. 5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the
clouds [which] are higher than thou. 6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou
against him? or [if] thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou
unto him? 7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what
receiveth he of thine hand? 8 Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou
[art]; and thy righteousness [may profit] the son of man.”
“9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make [the oppressed]
to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. 10 But none
saith, Where [is] God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; 11 Who
teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than
the fowls of heaven? 12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because
of the pride of evil men. 13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither
will the Almighty regard it.”
“14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, [yet] judgment [is]
before him; therefore trust thou in him. 15 But now, because [it is] not
[so], he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth [it] not in great
extremity: 16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth
words without knowledge.” (Job 35:1-16 AV)
