Iyov 35:1-8 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. Elihu spoke moreover, and said,

2. Thinkest thou this to be mishpat (right, just), that thou saidst, Tzidki meEl (I am cleared, in the right, justified before G-d)?

3. Ki (yet) thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned [see 9:22]?

4. I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

5. Look unto Shomayim, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.

6. If thou sinnest, what doest thou against Him? Or if thy peysha'im be multiplied, what doest thou unto Him?

7. If thou be tzaddik (righteous), what givest thou Him? Or what receiveth He of thine yad?

8. Thy resha (wickedness) may hurt an ish as thou art; and thy tzedek may profit the ben adam.
