The Book of Job

Chapter-35

Job 35:1 After this, Eliu again spoke in this way:

Job 35:2 Does it seem right to you in your thoughts, that you should say, “I am more just than God?”

Job 35:3 For you said, “Having done what is right does not please you,” and, “How will it benefit you, if I sin?”

Job 35:4 And so, I will respond to your words, and to your friends who are with you.

Job 35:5 Look up towards heaven and consider; also, think about the sky, which is higher than you.

Job 35:6 If you sin, how will it hurt him? And if your iniquities are multiplied, what will you do against him?

Job 35:7 Furthermore, if you act justly, what will you give him, or what will he receive from your hand?

Job 35:8 Your impiety may hurt a man who is like you, though your justice may help the son of the man.

Job 35:9 Because of the multitude of false accusers, they will cry out; and they will lament because of the strong arm of the tyrants.

Job 35:10 Yet he has not said: “Where is God, who made me, who has given songs in the night,

Job 35:11 who teaches us in addition to the beasts of the earth, and who educates us along with the birds of the air?”

Job 35:12 There they will cry, and he will not heed them, because of the arrogance of the wicked.

Job 35:13 Therefore, God does not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into each and every case.

Job 35:14 And so, when you say, “He does not examine,” be judged before him, but wait for him.

Job 35:15 For, at the present time, he does not bring forth his fury, nor does he punish sin exceedingly.

Job 35:16 Therefore, Job has opened his mouth in vain and has multiplied words without knowledge.
