Job 35:12-16 ▼

12 “The people cry out, but He does not answer Because of the pride of evil men.

13 “Surely God will not listen to an empty cry [which lacks trust], Nor will the Almighty regard it.

14 “Even though you say that you do not see Him [when missing His righteous judgment on earth], Yet your case is before Him, and you must wait for Him!

15 “And now, because He has not [quickly] punished in His anger, Nor has He acknowledged transgression and arrogance well [and seems unaware of the wrong of which a person is guilty],

16 Job uselessly opens his mouth And multiplies words without knowledge [drawing the worthless conclusion that the righteous have no more advantage than the wicked].”
