35:5 Look at the heavens and see; observe the clouds, which are higher than you.
35:6 If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
35:7 If you are righteous, what do you give to him; or what does he receive from your hand?
35:8 Your wickedness affects others like you, and your righteousness, other human beings.
35:9 ‘Because of the multitude of oppressions people cry out; they call for help because of the arm of the mighty.
35:10 But no one says, “Where is God my Maker, who gives strength in the night,
35:11 who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?”
35:12 There they cry out, but he does not answer, because of the pride of evildoers.
35:13 Surely God does not hear an empty cry, nor does the Almighty regard it.
35:14 How much less when you say that you do not see him, that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him!
35:15 And now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not greatly heed transgression,
35:16 Job opens his mouth in empty talk, he multiplies words without knowledge.’
