Job 35:9-16 (Listen)

• Job 34
• Job 35
• Job 36

9 “Because of the multitude of coppressions people dcry out;

they call for help because of the arm of ethe mighty.1

10 But none says, ‘Where is God my fMaker,

who gives gsongs in the night,

11 who teaches us hmore than the beasts of the earth

and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’

12 There they icry out, but he does not answer,

because of the pride of evil men.

13 Surely God does not hear an empty cry,

nor does the Almighty regard it.

14 How much less when you say that you jdo not see him,

that the case is before him, and you are kwaiting for him!

15 And now, because lhis anger does not punish,

and he does not take much note of transgression,2

16 Job opens his mouth in empty talk;

he mmultiplies words nwithout knowledge.”
