Job 35

Eliu declares that the good or evil done by man cannot reach God.

⁠
[1]
⁠
Moreover Eliu spoke these words:
[2]
⁠
Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say: I am more just than God?
[3]
⁠
For thou saidst: That which is right doth not please thee: or what will it profit thee if I sin?
[4]
⁠
Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.
[5]
⁠
Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.
⁠
[6]
⁠
If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?
[7]
⁠
And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?
[8]
⁠
Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee: and thy justice may help the son of man.
[9]
⁠
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they shall cry out: and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants.
[10]
⁠
And he hath not said: Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night?
⁠
[11]
⁠
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air.
[12]
⁠
There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men.
[13]
⁠
God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one.
[14]
⁠
Yea when thou shalt say: He considereth not: be judged before him, and expect him.
[15]
⁠
For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.
⁠
[16]
⁠
Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.
