By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry:
they cry out 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 fowls of heaven?
12 There they cry, but none giveth answer,
because of the pride of evil men.
13 Surely God will not hear vanity,
neither will the Almighty regard it.

14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him,
yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
15 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger;
yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
16 therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain;
he multiplieth words without knowledge.

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.
