Job 35:9-16
Legacy Standard Bible
9 “Because of (A)many oppressions they cry out;
They cry for help because of the arm (B)of many oppressors.
10 But (C)no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
Who (D)gives songs of praise in the night,
11 Who (E)teaches us more than the beasts of the earth
And makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’
12 There (F)they cry out, but He does not answer
Because of the pride of evil men.
13 Surely (G)God will not listen to [a]an empty cry,
Nor will the Almighty perceive it.
14 How much less when (H)you say you do not perceive Him,
The (I)case is before Him, and you must wait for Him!
15 And now, because He has not visited in His anger,
Nor has He acknowledged [b]transgression well,
16 So Job opens his mouth vainly;
He multiplies words (J)without knowledge.”
Job 35:9-16
Evangelical Heritage Version
9 They cry out because of severe oppression.
They scream for relief from the arm of the powerful.
10 But no one asks, “Where is God my Maker,
who provides songs in the night,
11 who teaches us more than the wild animals on the earth,
who makes us wiser than the birds in the sky?”
12 Then the wicked cry out, but he does not answer,
because of their arrogant pride.[a]
13 Certainly God will not listen to an insincere[b] cry,
and the Almighty will not pay attention to it.
14 How much less when you say
that you do not see him,
that your case has been presented to him,
and that you are waiting for him!
15 Besides that, you say that his anger has not demanded an accounting,
and that he does not fully understand sin.[c]
16 Job opens his mouth pointlessly,
and he heaps up words without knowledge.
