Job 35:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 35:8

6 If you sin, what do you accomplish ^aagainst Him?
Or, if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him?

7 ^aIf you are righteous, what do you give Him?
Or what does He receive from your hand?

8 Your wickedness affects a man such as you,
And your righteousness a son of man.

9 “Because^a of the multitude of oppressions they cry out;
They cry out for help because of the arm of the mighty.

10 But no one says, ^a‘Where is God my Maker,
^bWho gives songs in the night,

11 Who ^ateaches us more than the beasts of the earth,
And makes us wiser than the birds of heaven?’

12 ^aThere they cry out, but He does not answer,
Because of the pride of evil men.

13 ^aSurely God will not listen to empty talk,
Nor will the Almighty regard it.

14 ^aAlthough you say you do not see Him,
Yet justice is before Him, and ^byou must wait for Him.

15 And now, because He has not ^apunished in His anger,
Nor taken much notice of folly,

16 ^aTherefore Job opens his mouth in vain;
He multiplies words without knowledge.”
