6 Nether doeth godliness profite, or ungodliness hurt God, but man. 13 The wicked crye unto God and are not heard.

1.Elihú spake moreover, & said,

2.Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am ^amore righteous then God?

3.For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what availeth it me, to purge me from my sinne?

4.Therefore wil I answer thee, & thy ^bcompanions with thee.

5.Loke unto the heaven, and se and beholde the ^ccloudes which are hier then thou.

6.If thou sinnest, what doest thou ^dagainst him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou unto him?

7.If thou be righteous, what givest thou unto him? or what receiveth he at thine hand?

8.Thy wickednes may hurt a man as thou art: thy righteousnes may profite the sonne of man.

9.They cause many that are oppressed, ^eto crye, which crye out for the violence of the mightie.

10.But none saith, Where is God that made me, which giveth songs in the night?

11.Which teacheth us more then the beasts of the earth, and giveth us more wisdome then the foules of the heaven.

12.Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but ^fhe answereth not.

13.Surely God wil not heare vanitie, nether wil the Almightie regarde it.

14.Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regarde it, ^gyet judgement is before him: trust thou in him.

15.But now because his angre hathe not visited, nor called to count the evil with great extremitie,

16.Therefore Job ^hopeneth his mouth in vaine, & multiplieth wordes without knowledge.

Job 35
