Job 35

35
1-2It is not right, Job, for you to say
that you are innocent in God's sight,
3or to ask God, “How does my sin affect you?
What have I gained by not sinning?”
4I am going to answer you and your friends too.
5Look at the sky! See how high the clouds are!
6 # Job 22.2,3 If you sin, that does no harm to God.
If you do wrong many times, does that affect him?
7Do you help God by being so righteous?
There is nothing God needs from you.
8Others suffer from your sins,
and the good you do helps them.
9When people are oppressed, they groan;
they cry for someone to save them.
10But they don't turn to God, their Creator,
who gives them hope in their darkest hours.
11They don't turn to God, who makes us wise,
wiser than any animal or bird.
12They cry for help, but God doesn't answer,
for they are proud and evil.
13It is useless for them to cry out;
Almighty God does not see or hear them.
14Job, you say you can't see God;
but wait patiently—your case is before him.
15You think that God does not punish,
that he pays little attention to sin.
16It is useless for you to go on talking;
it is clear you don't know what you are saying.
