Moreover Elihu answered, |
2
|
"Do you think this to be your right, Or do you say, \'My righteousness is more than God\'s,\' |
3
|
That you ask, \'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. See the skies, which are higher than you. |
6
|
If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? 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 may hurt a man as you are; And your righteousness may profit a son of man. |
9
|
"By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty. |
10
|
But none says, \'Where is God my Maker, Who gives songs in the night, |
11
|
Who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, And makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?\' |
12
|
There they cry, but none gives answer, Because of the pride of evil men. |
13
|
Surely God will not hear an empty cry, Neither will the Almighty regard it. |
14
|
How much less when you say you don\'t see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him! |
15
|
But now, because he has not visited in his anger, Neither does he greatly regard arrogance. |
16
|
Therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, And he multiplies words without knowledge." |
