# Job 35 (New King James Version)
|
|
Elihu Condemns Self-Righteousness
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 35
|
|
###### 1 Moreover Elihu answered and said:
|
|
|
|
###### 2 "Do you think this is right?
|
|
Do you say,
|
|
'My righteousness is more than God's'?
|
|
|
|
###### 3 For you say,
|
|
'What advantage will it be to You?
|
|
What profit shall I have, more than _if_ I had sinned?'
|
|
|
|
###### 4 "I will answer you,
|
|
And your companions with you.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 Look to the heavens and see;
|
|
And behold the clouds--
|
|
They are higher than you.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him?
|
|
Or, _if_ your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him?
|
|
|
|
###### 7 If you are righteous, what do you give Him?
|
|
Or what does He receive from your hand?
|
|
|
|
###### 8 Your wickedness affects a man such as you,
|
|
And your righteousness a son of man.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 "Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out;
|
|
They cry out for help because of the arm of the mighty.
|
|
|
|
###### 10 But no one says, 'Where _is_ God my Maker,
|
|
Who gives songs in the night,
|
|
|
|
###### 11 Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth,
|
|
And makes us wiser than the birds of heaven?'
|
|
|
|
###### 12 There they cry out, but He does not answer,
|
|
Because of the pride of evil men.
|
|
|
|
###### 13 Surely God will not listen to empty _talk,_
|
|
Nor will the Almighty regard it.
|
|
|
|
###### 14 Although you say you do not see Him,
|
|
_Yet_ justice _is_ before Him, and you must wait for Him.
|
|
|
|
###### 15 And now, because He has not punished in His anger,
|
|
Nor taken much notice of folly,
|
|
|
|
###### 16 Therefore Job opens his mouth in vain;
|
|
He multiplies words without knowledge."
