Job 35:9-16
Lexham English Bible
9 “Because of the multitude of oppressions, they cry out;
they cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.
10 But[a] no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
who gives songs in the night,
11 who teaches us more than the animals of the earth
and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’
12 There they cry out, but[b] he does not answer
because of the pride of evildoers.[c]
13 “Surely God does not hear an empty plea,
and Shaddai does not regard it.
14 How much less[d] when you say that you do not see him,
that the case is before him,[e] and you are waiting for him!
15 But[f] now, because his anger does not punish,
and he does not acknowledge the transgression at all,
16 therefore[g] Job opens his mouth in empty talk—
without knowledge he multiplies words.”

New American Standard Bible
9 “Because of the (A)multitude of oppressions they cry out;
They cry for help because of the arm (B)of the mighty.
10 But (C)no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
Who (D)gives songs in the night,
11 Who (E)teaches us more than the animals of the earth
And makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’
12 There (F)they cry out, but He does not answer
Because of the pride of evil people.
13 (G)God certainly will not listen to [a]an empty cry,
Nor will the Almighty regard it.
14 How much less when (H)you say you do not look at Him,
The (I)case is before Him, and you must wait for Him!
15 And now, because He has not avenged His anger,
Nor has He acknowledged [b]wrongdoing well,
16 So Job opens his mouth with empty words;
He multiplies words (J)without knowledge.”
