Chap. XXXV.
Eliu pretending that Iob had sayde God to be vniust, she weth that mans pietie
nor impietie neither prositeth nor disprositeth God: 13 and that he iudgeth
al thinges rightly.
1 Therfore Eliu againe spake these wordes:
2 Doth
thy cogitation seme iust to thee, that thou saydst: note I am
iuster then God?
3 For thou saydst: That which is right doth
not please thee: or what wil it profite thee if I sinne?
4 Therfore
wil I answer to thy wordes, & to thy frendes with thee.
5 noteLooke vp to heauen and see, and behold the skie, that it is
higher then thou.
6 If thou sinne, what shalt thou hurt him?
and if thine iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou doe
against him?
7 Moreouer if thou doe iustly, what shalt thou
geue him, or what shal he receiue of thy hand?
8 Man that is
like to thee, thy impietie shal hurt: and thy iustice shal helpe
the sonne of man
9 Because of the multitude of calumniatours
they shal cry: and shal waile for the force of the arme
of tyrantes.
10 And he hath not sayd: Where is God, that made
me, that hath geuen songs in the night?
11 Who teacheth vs
aboue the beastes of the earth, and instructeth vs aboue the
soules of the ayre.
12 There shal they crie, and he wil not heare,
because of the pride of the euil.
13 God therfore wil not heare
without cause, and the Omnipotent wil behold the causes of
euerie one.
14 Yea when thou shalt say: He considereth not:
be iudged before him, & expect him.
15 For he doth not now
inferre his furie, neither doth he reuenge wickednesse excedingly.
-- --
16 Therfore Iob in vaine openeth his mouth, and
without knowledge multiplieth wordes.
