Job 35:1-16

35:1

Elihu
<0453>

spake
<06030> (8799)

moreover, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

35:2

Thinkest
<02803> (8804)

thou this to be right
<04941>_,

[that] thou saidst
<0559> (8804)_,

My righteousness
<06664>

[is] more than God's
<0410>_?

35:3

For thou saidst
<0559> (8799)_,

What advantage
<05532> (8799)

will it be unto thee? [and], What profit
<03276> (8686)

shall I have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin
<02403>_?

{if...: or, by it more than by my sin}

35:4

I will answer
<07725> (8686) <04405>

thee, and thy companions
<07453>

with thee. {answer...: Heb. return to thee words}

35:5

Look
<05027> (8685)

unto the heavens
<08064>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)_;

and behold
<07789> (8798)

the clouds
<07834>

[which] are higher
<01361> (8804)

than thou.

35:6

If thou sinnest
<02398> (8804)_,

what doest
<06466> (8799)

thou against him? or [if] thy transgressions
<06588>

be multiplied
<07231> (8804)_,

what doest
<06213> (8799)

thou unto him?

35:7

If thou be righteous
<06663> (8804)_,

what givest
<05414> (8799)

thou him? or what receiveth
<03947> (8799)

he of thine hand
<03027>_?

35:8

Thy wickedness
<07562>

[may hurt] a man
<0376>

as thou [art]; and thy righteousness
<06666>

[may profit] the son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_.

35:9

By reason of the multitude
<07230>

of oppressions
<06217>

they make [the oppressed] to cry
<02199> (8686)_:

they cry out
<07768> (8762)

by reason of the arm
<02220>

of the mighty
<07227>_.

35:10

But none saith
<0559> (8804)_,

Where [is] God
<0433>

my maker
<06213> (8802)_,

who giveth
<05414> (8802)

songs
<02158>

in the night
<03915>_;

35:11

Who teacheth
<0502> (8764)

us more than the beasts
<0929>

of the earth
<0776>_,

and maketh us wiser
<02449> (8762)

than the fowls
<05775>

of heaven
<08064>_?

35:12

There they cry
<06817> (8799)_,

but none giveth answer
<06030> (8799)_,

because
<06440>

of the pride
<01347>

of evil men
<07451>_.

35:13

Surely God
<0410>

will not hear
<08085> (8799)

vanity
<07723>_,

neither will the Almighty
<07706>

regard
<07789> (8799)

it.

35:14

Although
<0637>

thou sayest
<0559> (8799)

thou shalt not see
<07789> (8799)

him, [yet] judgment
<01779>

[is] before
<06440>

him; therefore trust
<02342> (8787)

thou in him.

35:15

But now, because [it is] not [so], he hath visited
<06485> (8804)

in his anger
<0639>_;

yet he knoweth
<03045> (8804)

[it] not in great
<03966>

extremity
<06580>_:

{he hath: that is, God hath} {he knoweth: that is, Job knoweth}

35:16

Therefore doth Job
<0347>

open
<06475> (8799)

his mouth
<06310>

in vain
<01892>_;

he multiplieth
<03527> (8686)

words
<04405>

without
<01097>

knowledge
<01847>_.
