Job 35 — Context

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!
