Job 35:1-16 - Elihu Condemns Job

¹ And Elihu will answer and say, ² Didst thou reckon this for judgment thou saidst, My justice is above God? ³ For thou wilt say, What shall it profit to thee? what shall I profit from my sin? ⁴ I will turn back words to thee, and thy companions with thee. ⁵ Look upon the heavens and see; behold the clouds, they were high above thee. ⁶ If thou sinnedst, what wilt thou do against him? and thy transgressions were multiplied, what wilt thou do to him? ⁷ If thou wert just, what wilt thou give to him? or what shall he take from thy hand? ⁸ Thy injustice to a man as thou: and thy justice to the son of man. ⁹ From the multitude of oppressions they will cry out: they will cry out from the arm of the many. ¹⁰ And not saying, Where is God making me? he gave songs in the night ¹¹ And who teacheth us from the cattle of the earth, and he will make us wise above the birds of the heavens? ¹² Then they will cry, and he will not answer from the face of the pride of the evil. ¹³ Also God will not hear vanity, and the Almighty will not look upon it ¹⁴ Also if thou shalt say thou wilt not see him, judgment is before him, and thou shalt wait for him. ¹⁵ And now that it is not, he reviewed his anger, and he knew not in great transgression. ¹⁶ And Job will open his mouth in vain; he will bind together words without knowledge.
