Job 35:1-8 ▼

1 Moreover Eliu spoke these words :

2 Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say : I am more just than God?

3 For thou saidst : That which is right doth not please thee : or what will it profit thee if I sin?

4 Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.

5 Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.

6 If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?

7 And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?

8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee : and thy justice may help the son of man.
