Job 35 · Geneva Bible (1599) · Scriptures (Good Books Free)

¹ Elihu spake moreouer, and said,

² Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?

³ For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?

⁴ Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.

⁵ Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.

⁶ If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?

⁷ If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?

⁸ Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.

⁹ They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.

¹⁰ But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?

¹¹ Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.

¹² Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.

¹³ Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.

¹⁴ Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.

¹⁵ But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,

¹⁶ Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
