Job 35 KJV Bible

The Bible – Job 35

1 – Elihu spake moreover, and said,

Covenant Eyes ad

2 – Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?

3 – For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?

4 – I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

5 – Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.

6 – If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

7 – If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?

8 – Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.

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.

10 – But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;

11 – Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

12 – There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.

13 – Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

14 – Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.

15 – But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:

16 – Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
