Job 35:9-16
American Standard Version
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out;
They cry for help 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 birds of the heavens?
12 There they cry, [a]but none giveth answer,
Because of the pride of evil men.
13 Surely God will not hear an empty cry,
Neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 How much less when thou sayest [b]thou beholdest him not,
The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him!
15 But now, because he hath not visited in his anger,
[c]Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance;
16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity;
He multiplieth words without knowledge.
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.”
