² "Do you think this to be just:
when you say, ‘My right before God.'
³ But you say, ‘What will it profit you,'
and, ‘What do I gain by not sinning?'
⁴ I will reply to you,
and to your friends with you.
⁵ Gaze at the heavens and see;
consider the clouds, which are higher than you!
⁶ If you sin, how does it affect God?
If your transgressions are many,
what does it do to him?
⁷ If you are righteous, what do you give to God,
or what does he receive from your hand?
⁸ Your wickedness affects only a person like yourself,
and your righteousness only other people.
⁹ "People cry out
because of the excess of oppression;
they cry out for help
because of the power of the mighty.
¹⁰ But no one says, ‘Where is God, my Creator,
who gives songs in the night,
¹¹ who teaches us more than the wild animals of the earth,
and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?'
¹² Then they cry out—but he does not answer—
because of the arrogance of the wicked.
¹³ Surely it is an empty cry—God does not hear it;
the Almighty does not take notice of it.
¹⁴ How much less, then,
when you say that you do not perceive him,
that the case is before him
and you are waiting for him!
¹⁵ And further, when you say
that his anger does not punish,
and that he does not know transgression!
¹⁶ So Job opens his mouth to no purpose;
without knowledge he multiplies words."
