Chapter 35
Job:35:1: Elihu spake moreover, and said,
Job:35:2: Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?
Job:35:3: For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
Job:35:4: I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
Job:35:5: Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
Job:35:6: If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or 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 thine hand?
Job:35:8: Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
Job:35:9: By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
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 fowls of heaven?
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 vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
Job:35:14: Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
Job:35:15: But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
Job:35:16: Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
Chapter 36
Job:36:1: Elihu also proceeded, and said,
Job:36:2: Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God’s behalf.
Job:36:3: I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
Job:36:4: For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
Job:36:5: Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
Job:36:6: He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.
Job:36:7: He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
Job:36:8: And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
Job:36:9: Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
Job:36:10: He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
Job:36:11: If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
Job:36:12: But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
Job:36:13: But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.
