I myself[a] will give answer to you[b]
and to your friends with you.
“Look at the heavens, and see;
and observe the clouds that are higher than you.
If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him?
And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
If you are righteous, what do you give to him,
or what does he receive from your hand?
Your wickedness affects a person like yourself,
and your righteousness affects humans.

I will answer you,
    and your companions with you.
Look to the skies, and see.
    See the skies, which are higher than you.
If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him?
    If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
If you are righteous, what do you give him?
    Or what does he receive from your hand?
Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are,
    and your righteousness may profit a son of man.
