book: Job

text: Elihu spake moreover, and said,


text: Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?


text: For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?


text: I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.


text: Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.


text: If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?


text: If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?


text: Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.


text: By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.


text: But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;


text: Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?


text: There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.


text: Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.


text: Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.


text: But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:


text: Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
