What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?` 35:4 I will answer you, And your companions with you. 35:5 Look to the heavens, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you. 35:6 If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him? 35:7 If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand? 35:8 Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are; And your righteousness may profit a son of man. 35:9 "By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty. 35:10 But none says, `Where is God my Maker, Who gives songs in the night, 35:11 Who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, And makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?` 35:12 There they cry, but none gives answer, Because of the pride of evil men. 35:13 Surely God will not hear an empty cry, Neither will the Almighty regard it. 35:14 How much less when you say you don`t see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him! 35:15 But now, because he has not visited in his anger, Neither does he greatly regard arrogance. 35:16 Therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, And he multiplies words without knowledge."
