Behold, God Is Mighty — Job 35:9–36:4

By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out;
They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.

But none saith, Where is God my Maker,
Who giveth songs in the night,

Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth,
And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens?

There they cry, but none giveth answer,
Because of the pride of evil men.

Surely God will not hear an empty cry,
Neither will the Almighty regard it.

How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not,
The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him!

But now, because he hath not visited in his anger,
Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance;

Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity;
He multiplieth words without knowledge.

Elihu also proceeded, and said,

Suffer me a little, and I will show thee;
For I have yet somewhat to say on God's behalf.

I will fetch my knowledge from afar,
And will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

For truly my words are not false:
One that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
