Job 35

Job 35 - Versions
Job 35 Text (WEB) Moreover Elihu answered, "Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, 'My righteousness is more than God's,' That you ask, 'What advantage will it be to you? What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?' I will answer you, and your companions with you. Look to the heavens, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you. If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him? If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand? Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit a son of man. "By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty. But none says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night, who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?' There they cry, but none gives answer, because of the pride of evil men. Surely God will not hear an empty cry, neither will the Almighty regard it. How much less when you say you don't see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him! But now, because he has not visited in his anger, neither does he greatly regard arrogance. Therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge."
Job 35 Text (Hebrew) ויען אליהו ויאמר׃ הזאת חשבת למשפט אמרת צדקי מאל׃ כי־תאמר מה־יסכן־לך מה־אעיל מחטאתי׃ אני אשיבך מלין ואת־רעיך עמך׃ הבט שמים וראה ושור שחקים גבהו ממך׃ אם־חטאת מה־תפעל־בו ורבו פשעיך מה־תעשה־לו׃ אם־צדקת מה־תתן־לו או מה־מידך יקח׃ לאיש־כמוך רשעך ולבן־אדם צדקתך׃ מרב עשוקים יזעיקו ישועו מזרוע רבים׃ ולא־אמר איה אלוה עשי נתן זמרות בלילה׃ מלפנו מבהמות ארץ ומעוף השמים יחכמנו׃ שם יצעקו ולא יענה מפני גאון רעים׃ אך־שוא לא־ישמע אל ושדי לא ישורנה׃ אף כי־תאמר לא תשורנו דין לפניו ותחולל לו׃ ועתה כי־אין פקד אפו ולא־ידע בפש מאד׃ ואיוב הבל יפצה־פיהו בבלי־דעת מלין יכבר׃ ף

Job 35 Text (Latin) Igitur Eliu hæc rursum locutus est : Numquid æqua tibi videtur tua cogitatio, ut diceres : Justior sum Deo ? Dixisti enim : Non tibi placet quod rectum est : vel quid tibi proderit, si ego peccavero ? Itaque ego respondebo sermonibus tuis, et amicis tuis tecum. Suspice cælum, et intuere : et contemplare æthera quod altior te sit. Si peccaveris, quid ei nocebis ? et si multiplicatæ fuerint iniquitates tuæ, quid facies contra eum ? Porro si juste egeris, quid donabis ei ? aut quid de manu tua accipiet ? Homini qui similis tui est, nocebit impietas tua : et filium hominis adjuvabit justitia tua. Propter multitudinem calumniatorum clamabunt, et ejulabunt propter vim brachii tyrannorum. Et non dixit : Ubi est Deus qui fecit me, qui dedit carmina in nocte, qui docet nos super jumenta terræ, et super volucres cæli erudit nos ? Ibi clamabunt, et non exaudiet propter superbiam malorum. Non ergo frustra audiet Deus, et Omnipotens causas singulorum intuebitur. Etiam cum dixeris : Non considerat : judicare coram illo, et expecta eum. Nunc enim non infert furorem suum, nec ulciscitur scelus valde. Ergo Job frustra aperit os suum, et absque scientia verba multiplicat.
Job 35 Text (KJV) Elihu spake moreover, and said, Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's? For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin? I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man. By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him. But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity: Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
