| The Book of Job 35 |
| The American Standard Version Online Bible (ASV) |
| Job 35:1 | Moreover Elihu answered and said, |
| Job 35:2 | Thinkest thou this to be [thy] right, [Or] sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God's, |
| Job 35:3 | That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? [And], What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned? |
| Job 35:4 | I will answer thee, And thy companions with thee. |
| Job 35:5 | Look unto the heavens, and see; And behold the skies, which are higher than thou. |
| Job 35:6 | If thou hast sinned, what effectest thou against him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? |
| Job 35:7 | If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? Or what receiveth he of thy hand? |
| Job 35:8 | Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou art; And thy righteousness [may profit] a son of man. |
| Job 35:9 | By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty. |
| Job 35:10 | But none saith, Where is God my Maker, Who giveth songs in the night, |
| Job 35:11 | Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens? |
| Job 35:12 | There they cry, but none giveth answer, Because of the pride of evil men. |
| Job 35:13 | Surely God will not hear an empty [cry], Neither will the Almighty regard it. |
| Job 35:14 | How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not, The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him! |
| Job 35:15 | But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance; |
| Job 35:16 | Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity; He multiplieth words without knowledge. |
