Job 35:9-12
Job 35:9-12 New Living Translation (NLT)
“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.
Job 35:9-15 The Message (MSG)
“When times get bad, people cry out for help. They cry for relief from being kicked around, But never give God a thought when things go well, when God puts spontaneous songs in their hearts, When God sets out the entire creation as a science classroom, using birds and beasts to teach wisdom. People are arrogantly indifferent to God— until, of course, they’re in trouble, and then God is indifferent to them. There’s nothing behind such prayers except panic; the Almighty pays them no mind. So why would he notice you just because you say you’re tired of waiting to be heard, Or waiting for him to get good and angry and do something about the world’s problems?
Job 35:9-12 King James Version (KJV)
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: They cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. But none saith, Where is God my maker, Who giveth songs in the night; Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? There they cry, but none giveth answer, Because of the pride of evil men.

Job 35:9-12 New Century Version (NCV)
“People cry out when they are in trouble; they beg for relief from powerful people.
