Job 35

1 Elihu spoke moreover, and said,

Elihu spake moreouer, and said,

2 Think you this to be right, that you said, My righteousness is more than God's?

Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?

3 For you said, What advantage will it be unto you? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?

For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?

4 I will answer you, and your companions with you.

Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.

5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than you.

Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.

6 If you sin, what do you against him? or if your transgressions be multiplied, what do you unto him?

If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?

7 If you be righteous, what give you him? or what receives he of your hand?

If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?

8 Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are; and your righteousness may profit the son of man.

Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.

9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.

They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.

10 But none says, Where is God my maker, who gives songs in the night;

But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?

11 Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.

12 There they cry, but none gives answer, because of the pride of evil men.

Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.

13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.

14 Although you say you shall not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust you in him.

Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.

15 But now, because it is not so, he has visited in his anger; yet he knows it not in great extremity:

But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,

16 Therefore does Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplies words without knowledge.

Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
