Elihu gaat verder
35 Elihu vervolgde:
2,3 ‘Denkt u dat het juist is als u beweert: “Ik ben rechtvaardig voor God”? Toch zegt u: “Ik ben bij Hem niet beter af dan wanneer ik wel had gezondigd.”
4 Ik zal u een antwoord geven dat ook voor uw vrienden is bestemd.
5 Kijk eens naar de hemel en de wolken hoog boven u.
6 Als u zondigt, beïnvloedt dat God dan? Ook al zondigt u steeds weer, wat voor gevolgen zou dat voor Hem hebben?
7 En als u zich goed gedraagt, is dat dan een groot geschenk voor Hem? Wordt Hij daar beter van?
8 Uw zonden kunnen slechts uzelf raken en uw goede daden kunnen alleen stervelingen beïnvloeden.
9,10 De onderdrukten schreeuwen weliswaar onder het onrecht en kreunen onder de macht van de rijken, maar toch roept geen van hen tot God en zegt: “Waar is God, mijn Schepper, die mij ʼs nachts mijn krachten teruggeeft
11 en ons meer wijsheid schenkt dan de landdieren en de vogels!”
12 Maar als iemand dit tot Hem roept, antwoordt Hij nooit als een goddeloze uit trots tot Hem spreekt.
13 God luistert niet naar hun lege pleidooi, de Almachtige let daar niet op.
14 Hoeveel minder zal Hij aandacht aan u schenken, als u zegt dat u Hem niet ziet, dat uw zaak aan Hem is voorgelegd en dat u op Hem wacht.
15 Maar omdat Gods toorn nu schijnbaar de zonde niet meteen afstraft en Hij zelfs het kwaad niet eens schijnt te zien,
16 opent u opeens uw mond, Job. En alles wat u te zeggen hebt, is alleen maar onzin.’

35 Potom je Elihu rekao:
2 »Misliš li da je ovo pravedno?
Govoriš: ‘Više sam u pravu od Boga.’
3 A pitaš: ‘Što mi to koristi
i što dobivam ako ne griješim?’
4 Odgovorit ću na to tebi
i tvojim prijateljima.
5 Pogledaj nebesa i zagledaj se u oblake
koji su toliko iznad tebe.
6 Ako griješiš, jesi li Bogu naškodio?
Ako umnožiš grijehe, jesi li mu naudio?
7 Ako si pravedan, što mu to daješ?
Što to on prima iz tvoje ruke?
8 Tvoja zloća utječe samo na slične tebi
i tvoja pravednost jedino na druge.
9 Ljudi vape zbog teškog tlačenja,
žele biti izbavljeni od ruke silnika.
10 Ali nitko ne kaže: ‘Gdje je Bog, moj Stvoritelj?
On nam noću daje pjesme koje pjevamo,
11 čini nas razumnijima od divljih životinja
i mudrijima od ptica.’
12 Takvi ljudi vape, ali on im ne odgovara
jer su bahati i opaki.
13 Uzaludni su njihovi vapaji,
Bog ih neće slušati,
ne mari za njih Svemoćni.
14 Pa koliko će tek manje slušati tebe
kad kažeš da ga ne vidiš,
da je tvoja parnica pred njim,
a ti još uvijek čekaš da ti odgovori!
15 Job misli da Bog ne kažnjava zlo
i da ne mari za grijeh.
16 Zato otvara usta za prazne priče
i puno govori bez znanja.«

35 Then Elihu said:
2 “Do you think this is just?
You say, ‘I am in the right,(A) not God.’(B)
3 Yet you ask him, ‘What profit is it to me,[a]
and what do I gain by not sinning?’(C)
4 “I would like to reply to you
and to your friends with you.
5 Look up at the heavens(D) and see;
gaze at the clouds so high above you.(E)
6 If you sin, how does that affect him?
If your sins are many, what does that do to him?(F)
7 If you are righteous, what do you give to him,(G)
or what does he receive(H) from your hand?(I)
8 Your wickedness only affects humans like yourself,(J)
and your righteousness only other people.(K)
9 “People cry out(L) under a load of oppression;(M)
they plead for relief from the arm of the powerful.(N)
10 But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,(O)
who gives songs(P) in the night,(Q)
11 who teaches(R) us(S) more than he teaches[b] the beasts of the earth
and makes us wiser than[c] the birds in the sky?’
12 He does not answer(T) when people cry out
because of the arrogance(U) of the wicked.(V)
13 Indeed, God does not listen to their empty plea;
the Almighty pays no attention to it.(W)
14 How much less, then, will he listen
when you say that you do not see him,(X)
that your case(Y) is before him
and you must wait for him,(Z)
15 and further, that his anger never punishes(AA)
and he does not take the least notice of wickedness.[d](AB)
16 So Job opens his mouth with empty talk;(AC)
without knowledge he multiplies words.”(AD)

35 Elihu spake moreover, and said,
2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?
3 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10 But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
15 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
