Job 35:9-16

Amplified Bible

⁹
“Because of the multitudes of oppressions the people cry out;
They cry for help because of the [violent] arm of the mighty.
¹⁰
“But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
Who gives songs [of rejoicing] in the night,^(A)
¹¹
Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth
And makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’
¹²
“The people cry out, but He does not answer
Because of the pride of evil men.
¹³
“Surely God will not listen to an empty cry [which lacks trust],
Nor will the Almighty regard it.
¹⁴
“Even though you say that you do not see Him [when missing His righteous judgment on earth],
Yet your case is before Him, and you must wait for Him!
¹⁵
“And now, because He has not [quickly] punished in His anger,
Nor has He acknowledged transgression and arrogance well [and seems unaware of the wrong of which a person is guilty],
¹⁶
Job uselessly opens his mouth
And multiplies words without knowledge [drawing the worthless conclusion that the righteous have no more advantage than the wicked].”
