35:1 igitur Heliu haec rursum locutus est

35:1 Moreover Eliu spoke these words:

35:2 numquid aequa tibi videtur tua cogitatio ut diceres iustior Deo sum

35:2 Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say: I am more just than God?

35:3 dixisti enim non tibi placet quod rectum est vel quid tibi proderit si ego peccavero

35:3 For thou saidst: That which is right doth not please thee: or what will it profit thee if I sin?

35:4 itaque ego respondebo sermonibus tuis et amicis tuis tecum

35:4 Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.

35:5 suspice caelum et intuere et contemplare aethera quod altior te sit

35:5 Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.

35:6 si peccaveris quid ei nocebis et si multiplicatae fuerint iniquitates tuae quid facies contra eum

35:6 If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?

35:7 porro si iuste egeris quid donabis ei aut quid de manu tua accipiet

35:7 And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?

35:8 homini qui similis tui est nocebit impietas tua et filium hominis adiuvabit iustitia tua

35:8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee: and thy justice may help the son of man.

35:9 propter multitudinem calumniatorum clamabunt et heiulabunt propter vim brachii tyrannorum

35:9 By reason of the multitude of oppressors they shall cry out: and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants.

35:10 et non dixit ubi est Deus qui fecit me qui dedit carmina in nocte

35:10 And he hath not said: Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night?

35:11 qui docet nos super iumenta terrae et super volucres caeli erudit nos

35:11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air.

35:12 ibi clamabunt et non exaudiet propter superbiam malorum

35:12 There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men.

35:13 non ergo frustra audiet Deus et Omnipotens singulorum causas intuebitur

35:13 God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one.

35:14 etiam cum dixeris non considerat iudicare coram eo et expecta eum

35:14 Yea, when thou shalt say: He considereth not: be judged before him, and expect him.

35:15 nunc enim non infert furorem suum nec ulciscitur scelus valde

35:15 For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.

35:16 ergo Iob frustra aperit os suum et absque scientia verba multiplicat

35:16 Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.
