Job 35:1-8

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

² “Do you think this to be just?
    You say, ‘I am in the right before God.’^(A)
3 If you ask, ‘What advantage have I?
    How am I better off than if I had sinned?’^(B)
4 I will answer you
    and your friends with you.
⁵ Look at the heavens and see;
    observe the clouds, which are higher than you.^(C)
6 If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him?
    And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?^(D)
7 If you are righteous, what do you give to him,
    or what does he receive from your hand?^(E)
8 Your wickedness affects others like you,
    and your righteousness, other human beings.
