Jobu
Capitolo 35
1
Elihu nastavi svoju besjedu i reče:
2
“Zar ti misliš da pravo svoje braniš, da pravednost pred Bogom dokazuješ,
3
kada mu kažeš: 'Što ti je to važno, i ako griješim, što ti činim time?'
4
Na sve to ja ću odgovorit' tebi i prijateljima tvojim ujedno.
5
Po nebu se obazri i promatraj! Gledaj oblake: od tebe su viši!
6
Ako griješiš, što si mu uradio, prijestupom svojim što si mu zadao?
7
Ako si prav, što si dodao njemu i što iz ruke tvoje on dobiva?
8
Opakost tvoja tebi slične pogađa i pravda tvoja čovjeku koristi.
9
Ali kad ispod teškog stenju jarma, kad vapiju na nasilje moćnika,
10
nitko ne kaže: 'Gdje je Bog, moj tvorac, koji noć pjesmom veselom ispunja,
11
umnijim nas od zvijeri zemskih čini i mudrijima od ptica nebeskih?'
12
Tad vapiju, al' on ne odgovara poradi oholosti zlikovaca.
13
Ali kako je isprazno tvrditi da Bog njihove ne čuje vapaje, da pogled na njih ne svraća Svesilni!
14
A kamoli tek kada ti govoriš: 'On ne vidi mene, parnica moja pred njime stoji, a ja na nj još čekam.'
15
Ili: 'Njegova srdžba ne kažnjava, nimalo on za prijestupe ne mari.'
16
Isprazno tada otvara Job usta i besjede gomila nerazumne.”
Job
Capitolo 35
1
Elihu spake moreover, and said,
2
Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?
3
For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
4
I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
5
Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
6
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
7
If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
8
Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
9
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10
But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
11
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
12
There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
13
Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
14
Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
15
But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
16
Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
