| Job 35:1 | Moreover Elihu answered, | And Elihu made answer and said, |
| Job 35:2 | "Do you think this to be your right, Or do you say, 'My righteousness is more than God's,' | Does it seem to you to be right, and righteousness before God, to say, |
| Job 35:3 | That you ask, 'What advantage will it be to you? What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?' | What profit is it to me, and how am I better off than if I had done wrong? |
| Job 35:4 | I will answer you, And your companions with you. | I will make answer to you and to your friends: |
| Job 35:5 | Look to the heavens, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you. | Let your eyes be turned to the heavens, and lifted up to see the skies; they are higher than you. |
| Job 35:6 | If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him? | If you have done wrong, is he any the worse for it? and if your sins are great in number, what is it to him? |
| Job 35:7 | If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand? | If you are upright, what do you give to him? or what does he take from your hand? |
| Job 35:8 | Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are; And your righteousness may profit a son of man. | Your evil-doing may have an effect on a man like yourself, or your righteousness on 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. | Because the hand of the cruel is hard on them, men are making sounds of grief; they are crying out for help because of the arm of the strong. |
| Job 35:10 | But none says, 'Where is God my Maker, Who gives songs in the night, | But no one has said, Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night; |
| Job 35:11 | Who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, And makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?' | Who gives us more knowledge than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heaven? |
| Job 35:12 | There they cry, but none gives answer, Because of the pride of evil men. | There they are crying out because of the pride of the evil-doers, but he gives them no answer. |
| Job 35:13 | Surely God will not hear an empty cry, Neither will the Almighty regard it. | But God will not give ear to what is false, or the Ruler of all take note of it; |
| Job 35:14 | How much less when you say you don't see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him! | How much less when you say that you do not see him; that the cause is before him, and you are waiting for him. |
| Job 35:15 | But now, because he has not visited in his anger, Neither does he greatly regard arrogance. | And now ... ; |
| Job 35:16 | Therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, And he multiplies words without knowledge." | And Job's mouth is open wide to give out what is of no profit, increasing words without knowledge. |
