| # Chapter 35
| Moreover Elihu answered and said,
| Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than łGod's?
| For thou hast asked of what profit it is unto thee: what do I gain more than if I had sinned?
| I will reply to thee in words, and to thy companions with thee.
| Look unto the heavens and see; and survey the skies: they are higher than thou.
| If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
| If thou be righteous, what givest thou to him? or what doth he receive of thy hand?
| Thy wickedness [may affect] a man as thou [art], and thy righteousness a son of man.
| By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry; they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty:
| But none saith, Where is +God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night,
| Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowl of the heavens?
| There they cry, and he answereth not, because of the pride of evil men.
| Surely łGod will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
| Although thou sayest thou dost not see him, judgment is before him, therefore wait for him.
| But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, doth not [Job] know [his] great arrogancy?
| For Job hath opened his mouth in vanity, and made words abundant without knowledge.
