Job 35:9-16
English Standard Version
9 “Because of the multitude of (A)oppressions people (B)cry out;
they call for help because of the arm of (C)the mighty.[a]
10 But none says, ‘Where is God my (D)Maker,
who gives (E)songs in the night,
11 who teaches us (F)more than the beasts of the earth
and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’
12 There they (G)cry out, but he does not answer,
because of the pride of evil men.
13 Surely God does not hear an empty cry,
nor does the Almighty regard it.
14 How much less when you say that you (H)do not see him,
that the case is before him, and you are (I)waiting for him!
15 And now, because (J)his anger does not punish,
and he does not take much note of transgression,[b]
16 Job opens his mouth in empty talk;
he (K)multiplies words (L)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.”
