Job 35
Common English Bible
Sin’s impact
35 Elihu continued:
2 Do you think it right?
You say, “I’m more just than God.”
3 Yet you ask, “What does it benefit you?
What have I gained by avoiding sin?”
4 I’ll answer you,
and your friends along with you.
5 Look at the heavens and see;
scan the clouds high over you.
6 If you’ve sinned, how have you affected God?
Your offenses have multiplied;
what have you done to him?
7 If you are righteous,
what do you give to him?
Or what does he receive from your hand?
8 Your evil affects others like you,
and your righteousness affects fellow human beings.
9 People cry out because of heavy oppression;
shout under the power of the mighty.
10 But no one says, “Where is God my maker;
who gives songs in the night;
11 who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth,
makes us wiser than the birds in the sky?”
12 Then they cry out; but he doesn’t answer,
because of the pride of the wicked.
13 God certainly doesn’t respond to a deceitful cry;
the Almighty doesn’t pay attention to it.
14 Although you say that you don’t see him,
the case is before him;
so wait anxiously for him.
15 Even though his anger is now held back,
a person doesn’t know it’s only delayed.[a]
16 So Job mouths emptiness;
he piles up ignorant words.

King James Version
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.

Ang Pulong Sa Dios
35 Unya miingon pa gayod si Elihu, 2 “Abi nimog husto ka sa imong pag-ingon nga wala kay sala atubangan sa Dios? 3 Apan nagaingon ka usab, ‘Unsa may akong makuha kon dili ako magpakasala?’
4 “Tubagon ko ikaw ug ang imong mga higala. 5 Hangad sa langit ug tan-awa ang mga panganod ibabaw nimo. 6 Kon nakasala ka, dili kana makaapekto sa Dios, bisan magsige ka pa ug pagpakasala. 7 Ug kon matarong ka, unsay kaayohan nga ikahatag mo sa Dios? 8 Ang imong isigka-tawo lang ang maapektohan sa imong maayo o daotan nga mga binuhatan.
9 “Nagpakitabang ang mga tawo tungod sa pagpangdaog-daog. Nagahangyo sila nga luwason gikan sa kamot sa mga tawong gamhanan. 10 Apan wala sila mangita sa Dios nga maoy naghimo kanila ug nagahatag kanilag kusog sa panahon sa kalisod.[a] 11 Wala sila midangop sa Dios nga naghimo kanila nga mas maalamon kaysa mga mananap ug mga langgam. 12 Ug kon manawag man sila, dili sila tubagon sa Dios tungod kay garboso ug mga daotan sila. 13 Oo, dili pamation sa Makagagahom nga Dios ang ilang pagpangayo ug tabang nga walay kapuslanan. 14 Labi pa gayod nga dili niya pamation ang imong pagpanawag, Job, kon moingon ka nga wala mo makita nga giatiman niya ang imong kaso nga gidala ngadto kaniya, ug nagsige ka lang ug hulat kaniya. 15 Nagaingon ka pa nga dili mosilot ang Dios bisan ug nasuko na siya, ug wala siya magtagad sa kadaotan nga ginahimo sa tawo. 16 Job, walay kapuslanan ang imong gipanulti. Klaro nga wala ka masayod sa imong gipanulti.”
