Job 35 — Novel English Bible

1 Moreover Alayahaw (Elihu) inah (answer / respond),

2 “Do you chashab (think) this to be your mashapat (right), or do you amar (said), ‘My tzadaq (righteous / just / fair) is more than Al,’

3 That you ask, ‘What sakan (advantage) will it be to you? What yail (profit) shall I have, more than if I had chataah (sin)?’

4 I will shawab (turn) you, and your rai (neigbor/another person) with you.

5 Nabat (look) to the shamayam (Shamayam / Heavens), and raah (see / saw). Shawar (see) the shachaqayam (skies), which are gabah (higher) than you.

6 If you have chataa (sinned), what effect pail (do) you have against him? If your pashai (transgressions) are rabab (multiplied), what ishah (make) you do to him?

7 If you are tzadaq (righteous / just / fair), what nathan (give) you give him? Or what does he laqach (take / seize) from your yad (hand)?

8 Your rashai (wickedness) may hurt a ayash (man / husband) as you are, and your tzadaqah (righteousness) may profit a ban (son) of adam (man).

9 “By reason of the rab (multitude) of ishawaqayam (oppressions) they shawai (cry) out. They zaiq (cry) for zarawai (help) by reason of the arm of the rab (mighty).

10 But none amar (spoke), ‘Where is Alawah () my Maker, who nathan (give) zamarawath (songs) in the layal (night),

11 Who teaches us more than the animals of the aratz (Earth/land), and chakam (makes) us wiser than the iwap (flying) of the sky?’

12 There they tzaiq (cry), but none inah (answer / respond) answer, panayam (face) of the gaawan (pride) of rai (evil) men.

13 Surely Al will not shamai (hearken / hear) an empty cry, neither will the Shaday () shawar (regard) it.

14 Ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) much less when you amar (said) you don't shawar (see) him. The dayan (judge) is panayam (face) him, and you chawal (wait) for him!

15 But now, because he paqad (visit) not visited in his ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting), neither does he maad (greatly) yadai (regard) arrogance.

16 Therefore Ayawab (Job) patzah (opens) his pah (mouth) with empty talk, and he kabar (multiplies) malayan (words) balay (without) daith (knowledge).”
