Job 35:9

Job 35:9

Compare all

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.

(Ecclesiastes 4:1.) Elihu states in Job's words (Job 24:12; Job 30:20) the difficulty; the "cries" of "the oppressed" not being heard might lead man to think that wrongs are not punished by Him.
