Job 35
35
Elihu Condemns Self-Righteousness
1Elihu spoke again and said:
2“Do you think this is right,
that you say, ‘My righteousness is before God’?
3For you said, ‘What advantage will it be to me?
What profit will I have if I am cleansed from my sin?’ # Job 34:9
4“I will answer you,
and your companions with you. # Job 34:8
5Look unto the heavens and see,
and behold the clouds that are higher than you. # Job 22:12
6If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? # Pr 8:36; Jer 7:19
Or if your transgressions are multiplied, what does it do to Him?
7If you are righteous, what does it give Him? # Job 22:2–3
Or what does He receive from your hand? # Pr 9:12
8Your wickedness may hurt a man like you,
and your righteousness may profit a son of man.
9“Because of the many oppressions they cry out; # Ex 2:23; Job 34:28
they cry out because of the arm of the mighty.
10But none says, ‘Where is God my maker,
who gives songs in the night, # Ps 42:8; 149:5
11who teaches us # Ps 94:12 more than the beasts of the earth,
and makes us wiser than the birds of heaven?’
12There they cry out, but He does not answer # Pr 1:28
because of the pride of evil men.
13Surely God will not hear vanity, # Pr 15:29; Isa 1:15
nor will the Almighty regard it.
14Although you say you do not see Him, # Job 9:11
yet judgment is before Him,
and you must trust in Him.
15But now, because He has not punished in His anger, # Ps 89:32
nor taken much notice of folly,
16therefore Job opens his mouth in vain;
he multiplies words without knowledge.” # Job 38:2
