Elihu Reminds Job of God's Justice
Chapter 35
-
Then Elihu said:
-
"Do you think it is right for you to claim, 'I am righteous before God'?
-
For you also ask, 'What's in it for me? What's the use of living a righteous life?'
-
"I will answer you and all your friends, too.
-
Look up into the sky, and see the clouds high above you.
-
If you sin, how does that affect God? Even if you sin again and again, what effect will it have on him?
-
If you are good, is this some great gift to him? What could you possibly give him?
-
No, your sins affect only people like yourself, and your good deeds also affect only humans.
-
"People cry out when they are oppressed. They groan beneath the power of the mighty.
-
Yet they don't ask, 'Where is God my Creator, the one who gives songs in the night?
-
Where is the one who makes us smarter than the animals and wiser than the birds of the sky?'
-
And when they cry out, God does not answer because of their pride.
-
But it is wrong to say God doesn't listen, to say the Almighty isn't concerned.
-
You say you can't see him, but he will bring justice if you will only wait.
-
You say he does not respond to sinners with anger and is not greatly concerned about wickedness.
-
But you are talking nonsense, Job. You have spoken like a fool."
