Job 35:1-16
[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. |

Job 32:2
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God. |
