ULT JOB Chapter 35

35 And Elihu answered and said,

2 “Do you consider this to be justice?

You say, ‘I am more righteous than God’!

3 For you have said, ‘What does it benefit you?

What do I gain more than my sin?’

4 I will answer you with words,

and your friends with you.

5 Observe the heavens and see,

and look, the clouds soar above you.

6 If you sin, what do you accomplish against him?

Or if your transgressions multiply, what do you do to him?

7 If you are righteous, what do you give to him,

or what does he receive from your hand?

8 Your wickedness is to a man like you,

and your righteousness is to a son of man.

9 From the multitude of oppressions they make a cry;

they shout from the arm of the mighty.

10 But one does not say, ‘Where is God my Maker,

the one giving songs in the night,

11 the one teaching us more than the beasts of the earth,

making us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’

12 There they cry out, but he does not answer

from the face of the pride of evil ones.

13 Surely God does not hear vanity,

and Shaddai does not regard it.

14 How much less that you say you do not see him,

the case is to his face, and you are waiting for him,

15 and now that in his nose, he does not visit,

and he does not take much notice of transgression!

16 So Job opens his mouth in vain;

without knowledge, he multiplies words.”
