- 2. Thinkest thou this to be [thy] right, [Or] sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God’s,
- 3. That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? [And], What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?
- 4. I will answer thee, And thy companions with thee.
- 5. Look unto the heavens, and see; And behold the skies, which are higher than thou.
- 6. If thou hast sinned, what effectest thou against him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
- 7. If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? Or what receiveth he of thy hand?
- 8. Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou art; And thy righteousness [may profit] a son of man.

- 11. Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens?
- 12. There they cry, but none giveth answer, Because of the pride of evil men.
- 13. Surely God will not hear an empty [cry], Neither will the Almighty regard it.
- 14. How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not, The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him!
- 15. But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance;
- 16. Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity; He multiplieth words without knowledge.
