CHAP. XXXV.

1 Comparison is not to be made with God, because our good or euill cannot extend vnto him. 9 Many cry in their afflictions, but are not heard for want of faith.

¹ Elihu spake moreouer, and said,

² Thinkest thou this to bee right, that thou saydest, My righteousnesse is more then Gods?

³ For thou saydst, what aduantage will it bee vnto thee, and, what profite shall I haue, if I bee cleansed from my sinne?³

⁴ I will answere thee, and thy companions with thee.⁴

⁵ Looke vnto the heauens and see, and behold the clouds which are higher then thou.

⁶ If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou vnto him?

⁷ If thou be righteous, what giuest thou him? or what receiueth hee of thine hand?⁷

⁸ Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art, and thy righteousnesse may profit the sonne of man.

⁹ By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to crie: they crie out by reason of the arme of the mightie.

¹⁰ But none saith, where is God my maker, who giueth songs in the night?

¹¹ Who teacheth vs more then the beasts of the earth, and maketh vs wiser then the foules of heauen.

¹² There they crie, (but none giueth answere) because of the pride of euill men.

¹³ Surely God wil not heare vanitie, neither wil the Almightie regard it.¹³

¹⁴ Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet iudgement is before him, therefore trust thou in him.

¹⁵ But now because it is not so, hee hath visited in his anger, yet he knoweth it not in great extremitie:¹⁵

¹⁶ Therefore doeth Iob open his mouth in vaine: he multiplieth words without knowledge.
