² "Do you think it is right for you to claim,
    ‘I am righteous before God'?
³ For you also ask, ‘What's in it for me?
    What's the use of living a righteous life?'

⁴ "I will answer you
    and all your friends, too.
⁵ Look up into the sky,
    and see the clouds high above you.
⁶ If you sin, how does that affect God?
    Even if you sin again and again,
    what effect will it have on him?
⁷ If you are good, is this some great gift to him?
    What could you possibly give him?
⁸ No, your sins affect only people like yourself,
    and your good deeds also affect only humans.

⁹ "People cry out when they are oppressed.
    They groan beneath the power of the mighty.
¹⁰ Yet they don't ask, ‘Where is God my Creator,
    the one who gives songs in the night?
¹¹ Where is the one who makes us smarter than the animals
    and wiser than the birds of the sky?'
¹² And when they cry out, God does not answer
    because of their pride.
¹³ But it is wrong to say God doesn't listen,
    to say the Almighty isn't concerned.
¹⁴ You say you can't see him,
    but he will bring justice if you will only wait.^[a]
15 You say he does not respond to sinners with anger
    and is not greatly concerned about wickedness.^[b]
16 But you are talking nonsense, Job.
    You have spoken like a fool."
