They cause many that are oppressed, [a]to cry, which cry out for the violence of the mighty.

10 But none saith, Where is God that made me, which giveth songs in the night?

11 Which teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and giveth us more wisdom than the fowls of the heaven.

12 Then they cry because of the violence of the wicked, [b]but he answereth not.

13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

14 Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, [c]yet judgment is before him: trust thou in him.

15 But now because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the evil with great extremity,

16 Therefore Job [d]openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.
