Chapter 35
1 Moreover Eliu spoke these words:
2 does your thought seem right to you, that you should say: I am more just than God?
3 For you said: That which is right does not please you: or what will it profit you if I sin?
4 Therefore I will answer your words, and your friends with you.
5 Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than you.
6 If you sin, what shall you hurt him? and if your iniquities be multiplied, what shall you do against him?
7 And if you do justly, what shall you give him, or what shall he receive of your hand?
8 your wickedness may hurt a man that is like you: and your justice may help the son of man.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they shall cry out: and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants.
10 And he has not said: Where is God, who made me, who has given songs in the night?
11 Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructs us more than the fowls of the air.
12 There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men.
13 God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one.
14 Yea when you shall say: He considers not: be judged before him, and expect him.
15 For he does not now bring on his fury, neither does he revenge wickedness exceedingly.
16 Therefore Job opens his mouth in vain, and multiplies words without knowledge.
