📖 Job 35
-
1
Elihu spake moreouer and saide:
-
2
Thinkest thou it right that thou sayest, I am more righteous then God?
-
3
For thou sayest: what aduauntage wyll it be vnto thee, and what profite shall I haue of my sinne?
-
4
Therefore wyll I geue aunswere vnto thee, aud to thy companions with thee.
-
5
Loke vnto the heauen and beholde it, consider the cloudes which are hyer then thou.
-
6
If thou hast sinned, what hast thou done against him? If thyne offences be many, what hast thou done vnto him?
-
7
If thou be righteous, what geuest thou him? or what wyll he receaue of thyne hande?
-
8
Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art, and thy righteousnesse may profite the sonne of man.
-
9
They which are oppressed crye out vpon the multitude, yea they crye out for the power of the mightie:
-
10
But none sayth, Where is God that made me? and that geueth vs occasion to praise him in the night?
-
11
Which teacheth vs more the the beastes of the earth, and geueth vs more wysdome then the foules of heauen.
-
12
If any such complaine, no man geueth aunswere, and that because of the wickednesse of proude tirauntes.
-
13
For God wyll not heare vanitie, neither wyll the almightie regarde it.
-
14
Although thou sayest to God thou wylt not regarde it: yet iudgement is before him, trust thou in him.
-
15
But now because his anger hath not visited, neither called men to accompt with great extremitie:
-
16
Therefore doth Iob open his mouth but in vaine, & he maketh many wordes without knowledge.
