Job 35 📜 📕 ↷

1 THEREFORE Eliu again spake these words:📜💬📚

2 Doth thy cogitation seem just to thee, that thou saidst: I am juster than God?📜💬📚

3 For thou saidst: That which is right doth not please thee: or what will it profit thee if I sin?📜💬📚

4 Therefore will I answer to thy words, and to thy friends with thee.📜💬📚

5 Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thou.📜💬📚

6 If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? And if thine iniquities be multiplied, what shall thou do against him?📜💬📚

7 Moreover if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?📜💬📚

8 Man that is like to thee, thy impiety shall hurt: and thy justice shall help the son of man.📜💬📚

9 Because of the multitude of calumniators they shall cry: and shall wail for the force of the arm of tyrants.📜💬📚

10 And he hath not said: Where is God, that made me, that hath given songs in the night?📜💬📚

11 Who teacheth us above the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us above the fowls of the air.📜💬📚

12 There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of the evil.📜💬📚

13 God therefore will not hear without cause, and the Omnipotent will behold the causes of every one.📜💬📚

14 Yea when thou shalt say: He considereth not: be judged before him, and expect him.📜💬📚

15 For he doth not now infer his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.📜💬📚

16 Therefore Job in vain openeth his mouth, and without knowledge multiplieth words.📜💬📚
