| # Chapter 35
| And Elihu answereth and saith: --
| This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said -- 'My righteousness [is] more than God's?'
| For thou sayest, 'What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?'
| I return thee words, and thy friends with thee,
| Behold attentively the heavens -- and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou.
| If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him?
| If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?
| For a man like thyself [is] thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.
| Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.
| And none said, 'Where [is] God my maker? Giving songs in the night,
| Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'
| There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.
| Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.
| Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stay for Him.
| And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.
| And Job [with] vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.
