² "Do you think this to be just?
    You say, ‘I am in the right before God.'
³ If you ask, ‘What advantage have I?
    How am I better off than if I had sinned?'
⁴ I will answer you
    and your friends with you.
⁵ Look at the heavens and see;
    observe the clouds, which are higher than you.
⁶ If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him?
    And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
⁷ If you are righteous, what do you give to him;
    or what does he receive from your hand?
⁸ Your wickedness affects others like you,
    and your righteousness, other human beings.

⁹ "Because of the multitude of oppressions people cry out;
    they call for help because of the arm of the mighty.
¹⁰ But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
    who gives strength in the night,
¹¹ who teaches us more than the animals of the earth,
    and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?'
¹² There they cry out, but he does not answer,
    because of the pride of evildoers.
¹³ Surely God does not hear an empty cry,
    nor does the Almighty^[a] regard it.
¹⁴ How much less when you say that you do not see him,
    that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him!
¹⁵ And now, because his anger does not punish,
    and he does not greatly heed transgression,^[b]
16 Job opens his mouth in empty talk,
    he multiplies words without knowledge."
