Job 35 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

Elihu Reminds Job of God's Justice

1. Elihu spoke moreover, and said,

2. Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?

3. For thou saidst, What advantage will it be to thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?

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

5. Look to the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.

6. If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions are multiplied, what doest thou to him?

7. If thou art righteous, what givest thou to him? or what receiveth he from thy hand?

8. Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.

9. By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.

10. But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;

11. Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

12. There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.

13. Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

14. Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.

15. But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:

16. Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
