351Moreover Elihu answered,+2“Do you think this to be your right,or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’+3That you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you?What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?’+4I will answer you,and your companions with you.+5Look to the heavens, and see.See the skies, which are higher than you.+6If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him?If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?+7If you are righteous, what do you give him?Or what does he receive from your hand?+8Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are,and your righteousness may profit a son of man.+9“By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out.They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.+10But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,who gives songs in the night,+11who teaches us more than the animals of the earth,and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’+12There they cry, but no one gives answer,because of the pride of evil men.+13Surely God will not hear an empty cry,neither will the Almighty regard it.+14How much less when you say you don’t see him.The cause is before him, and you wait for him!+15But now, because he has not visited in his anger,neither does he greatly regard arrogance.+16Therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk,and he multiplies words without knowledge.”+
