Job 35:9-15

¶“Because of the multitudes of oppressions the people cry out; They cry for help because of the [violent] arm of the mighty. “But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, Who gives songs [of rejoicing] in the night, [Acts 16:25] Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth And makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’ “The people cry out, but He does not answer Because of the pride of evil men. “Surely God will not listen to an empty cry [which lacks trust], Nor will the Almighty regard it. “Even though you say that you do not see Him [when missing His righteous judgment on earth], Yet your case is before Him, and you must wait for Him! “And now, because He has not [quickly] punished in His anger, Nor has He acknowledged transgression and arrogance well [and seems unaware of the wrong of which a person is guilty]
