Bible in Basic English
"If you have done wrong, is he any the worse for it? and if your sins are great in number, what is it to him?"
— Job 35:6, Bible in Basic English
“If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?”
What profit is it to me, and how am I better off than if I had done wrong?
I will make answer to you and to your friends:
Let your eyes be turned to the heavens, and lifted up to see the skies; they are higher than you.
If you have done wrong, is he any the worse for it? and if your sins are great in number, what is it to him?
If you are upright, what do you give to him? or what does he take from your hand?
Your evil-doing may have an effect on a man like yourself, or your righteousness on a son of man.
Because the hand of the cruel is hard on them, men are making sounds of grief; they are crying out for help because of the arm of the strong.
