Job 35
1Elihu spoke moreover, and said: 1
2Thinkest thou this to be mishpat (right, just), that thou saidst: 1 Tzidki meEl (I am cleared, in the right, justified before G-d)? 1
3Ki (yet) thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? 1 and, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned? + 35:3 see 9:22 1
4I will answer thee, 1 and thy companions with thee. 1
5Look unto Shomayim, and see; 1 and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. 1
6If thou sinnest, what doest thou against Him? 1 Or if thy peysha'im be multiplied, what doest thou unto Him? 1
7If thou be tzaddik (righteous), what givest thou Him? 1 Or what receiveth He of thine yad? 1
8Thy resha (wickedness) may hurt an ish as thou art; 1 and thy tzedek may profit the ben adam. 1
9They cry out under a load of oppression; 1 they plead for relief from the zero'a of the rabbim. 1
10But none saith, Where is Eloah Osai (G-d my Maker), 1 Who giveth zemirot balailah (songs in the night); 1
11Who teacheth us more than the behamot eretz, 1 and maketh us wiser than the oph HaShomayim? 1
12There they cry out, but none giveth answer, 1 because of the ga'on (pride, arrogance) of ra'im (wicked men). 1
13Surely El will not hear shav (vanity), 1 neither will Shaddai regard it. 1
14Although thou sayest thou cannot see Him, 1 yet Din (the court case) is before Him; 1 therefore trust thou, waiting for Him, 1
15though ye say His anger does not pakad (visit, punish) anything 1 and that He does not regard wickedness much; 1
16Therefore doth Iyov open his mouth hevel (in vain); 1 he multiplieth words without da'as.
