Job 35:9-16
Lexham English Bible
Job 35:9-16
Lexham English Bible
9 “Because of the multitude of oppressions, they cry out;
they cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.
10 But[a] no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
who gives songs in the night,
11 who teaches us more than the animals of the earth
and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’
12 There they cry out, but[b] he does not answer
because of the pride of evildoers.[c]
13 “Surely God does not hear an empty plea,
and Shaddai does not regard it.
14 How much less[d] when you say that you do not see him,
that the case is before him,[e] and you are waiting for him!
15 But[f] now, because his anger does not punish,
and he does not acknowledge the transgression at all,
16 therefore[g] Job opens his mouth in empty talk—
without knowledge he multiplies words.”

Job 35:9-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
9 People cry out because of severe oppression;
they shout for help because of the arm of the mighty.(A)
10 But no one asks, “Where is God my Maker,(B)
who provides us with songs in the night,(C)
11 who gives us more understanding than the animals of the earth
and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?”(D)
12 There they cry out, but He does not answer,
because of the pride of evil men.(E)
13 Indeed, God does not listen to empty cries,
and the Almighty does not take note of it—
14 how much less when[a] you complain[b]
that you do not see Him,
that your case(F) is before Him
and you are waiting(G) for Him.
15 But now, because God’s anger does not punish
and He does not pay attention to transgression,[c]
16 Job opens his mouth in vain
and multiplies words without knowledge.(H)

New International Version
Job 35:9-16
New International Version
9 “People cry out(A) under a load of oppression;(B)
they plead for relief from the arm of the powerful.(C)
10 But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,(D)
who gives songs(E) in the night,(F)
11 who teaches(G) us(H) more than he teaches[a] the beasts of the earth
and makes us wiser than[b] the birds in the sky?’
12 He does not answer(I) when people cry out
because of the arrogance(J) of the wicked.(K)
13 Indeed, God does not listen to their empty plea;
the Almighty pays no attention to it.(L)
14 How much less, then, will he listen
when you say that you do not see him,(M)
that your case(N) is before him
and you must wait for him,(O)
15 and further, that his anger never punishes(P)
and he does not take the least notice of wickedness.[c](Q)
16 So Job opens his mouth with empty talk;(R)
without knowledge he multiplies words.”(S)
