Job 35:2

Thinkest thou this to be right, [that] thou saidst, My righteousness [is] more than God's?

Job 35:3

For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? [and], What profit shall I have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin?

Job 35:4

I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

Job 35:5

Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds [which] are higher than thou.

Job 35:6

If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or [if] thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

Job 35:7

If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?

Job 35:8

Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou [art]; and thy righteousness [may profit] the son of man.

Job 35:9

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

Job 35:10

But none saith, Where [is] God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;

Job 35:11

Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

Job 35:12

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

Job 35:13

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

Job 35:14

Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, [yet] judgment [is] before him; therefore trust thou in him.

Job 35:15

But now, because [it is] not [so], he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth [it] not in great extremity:

Job 35:16

Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
