CHAP. XXXV.
Eliu declares that the good or
evil done by man cannot
reach God.
1 Moreover Eliu
spoke these words:
2 Doth thy thought seem
right to thee, that thou shouldst
say: I am more just than God?
3 For thou saidst: That
which is right doth not please
thee: or what will it profit
thee, if I sin?
4 Therefore I will answer
thy words, and thy friends
with thee.
5 Look up to heaven and
see, and behold the sky, that
it is higher than thou.
6 If thou sin, what shalt
thou hurt him? and if thy
iniquities be multiplied, what
shalt thou do against him?
7 And if thou do justly,
what shalt thou give him, or
what shall he receive of thy
hand?
8 Thy wickedness may hurt
a man that is like thee: and
thy justice may help the son
of man.
9 By reason of the multitude
of oppressers they shall
cry out: and shall wail for the
violence of the arm of tyrants.
10 And he hath not said:
Where is God, who made
me, who hath given songs in
the night?
11 Who teacheth us more
than the beasts of the earth,
and instructeth 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 thou shalt
say: He considereth not: be
judged before him, and wait
for him.
15 For he doth not now
bring on his fury, neither doth
-- --
he revenge wickedness exceedingly.
16 Therefore Job openeth
his mouth in vain, and multiplieth
words without knowledge.
