Job 35:9-16

New American Standard Bible

⁹ “Because of the ^(A)multitude of oppressions they cry out;
They cry for help because of the arm ^(B)of the mighty.
¹⁰ But ^(C)no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
Who ^(D)gives songs in the night,
¹¹ Who ^(E)teaches us more than the animals of the earth
And makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’
¹² There ^(F)they cry out, but He does not answer
Because of the pride of evil people.
^13 (G)God certainly will not listen to ^[a]an empty cry,
Nor will the Almighty regard it.
¹⁴ How much less when ^(H)you say you do not look at Him,
The ^(I)case is before Him, and you must wait for Him!
¹⁵ And now, because He has not avenged His anger,
Nor has He acknowledged ^[b]wrongdoing well,
¹⁶ So Job opens his mouth with empty words;
He multiplies words ^(J)without knowledge.”
