| # Chapter 35
| Elihu spoke moreover, and said,
| Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?
| For thou saidst, What advantage will it be to thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
| I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
| Look to the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
| If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions are multiplied, what doest thou to him?
| If thou art righteous, what givest thou to him? or what receiveth he from thy hand?
| Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
| By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to 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 fowls of heaven?
| There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
| Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
| Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
| But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
| Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
