Job 35

1Or will you say, 'What did I do, if I have sinned?'

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιους λέγει

2'What is this you consider as judgment? Who are you to say, 'I am righteous before the Lord'?

τί τοῦτο ἡγήσω ἐν κρίσει σὺ τίς εἶ ὅτι εἶπας δίκαιός εἰμι ἔναντι κυρίου

3'I will answer you and your three friends.

ἢ ἐρεῖς τί ποιήσω ἁμαρτών

4Look up to heaven and see, And observe the cloud as higher than you.

ἐγὼ σοὶ δώσω ἀπόκρισιν καὶ τοῖς τρισὶν φίλοις σου

5If you have sinned, what will you do? If you have acted very lawlessly, what can you do?

ἀνάβλεψον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἰδέ κατάμαθε δὲ νέφη ὡς ὑψηλὰ ἀπὸ σοῦ

6Since therefore you are righteous, what will you give Him? Or what did He receive from your hand?

εἰ ἥμαρτες τί πράξεις εἰ δὲ καὶ πολλὰ ἠνόμησας τί δύνασαι ποιῆσαι

7Your ungodliness may affect a man such as you, Or your righteousness a son of man.

ἐπεὶ δὲ οὖν δίκαιος εἶ τί δώσεις αὐτῷ ἢ τί ἐκ χειρός σου λήμψεται

8'Those who are slandered by a multitude will cry out; They will cry out for help because of the strength of the many.

ἀνδρὶ τῷ ὁμοίῳ σου ἡ ἀσέβειά σου καὶ υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου

9But no one says, 'Where is the God who made me, Who appoints the night watches,

ἀπὸ πλήθους συκοφαντούμενοι κεκράξονται βοήσονται ἀπὸ βραχίονος πολλῶν

10Who distinguishes me from the four-footed animals of the earth And from the birds of heaven?'

καὶ οὐκ εἶπεν ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας με ὁ κατατάσσων φυλακὰς νυκτερινάς

11There they will cry out, but no one answers, Because of the insolence of evil men.

ὁ διορίζων με ἀπὸ τετραπόδων γῆς ἀπὸ δὲ πετεινῶν οὐρανοῦ

12For the Lord does not desire to look on wrongdoing,

ἐκεῖ κεκράξονται καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ καὶ ἀπὸ ὕβρεως πονηρῶν

13For He, the Almighty, is the observer Of those who perform lawless deeds, But He will save me. Decide before Him if you can praise Him as it is now possible.

ἄτοπα γὰρ οὐ βούλεται ὁ κύριος ἰδεῖν αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ παντοκράτωρ ὁρατής ἐστιν

14But now, He is not visiting His wrath, Nor even taking notice of very much transgression;

τῶν συντελούντων τὰ ἄνομα καὶ σώσει με κρίθητι δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ εἰ δύνασαι αἰνέσαι αὐτόν ὡς ἔστιν

15Yet Job opens his mouth in vain; In ignorance he burdens us with words.'

καὶ νῦν ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπισκεπτόμενος ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω παραπτώματι σφόδρα

16Elihu also proceeded and said:

καὶ Ιωβ ματαίως ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγνωσίᾳ ῥήματα βαρύνει
