Douay Bible - Job Chapter 35

Job 35:1
Moreover Eliu spoke these words :

Job 35:2
Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say : I am more just than God?

Job 35:3
For thou saidst : That which is right doth not please thee : or what will it profit thee if I sin?

Job 35:4
Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.

Job 35:5
Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.

Job 35:6
If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?

Job 35:7
And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?

Job 35:8
Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee : and thy justice may help the son of man.

Job 35:9
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they shall cry out : and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants.

Job 35:10
And he hath not said : Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night?

Job 35:11
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air.

Job 35:12
There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men.

Job 35:13
God therefore will not hear in vain, and the almighty will look into the causes of every one.

Job 35:14
Yea when thou shalt say : He considereth not : be judged before him, and expect him.

Job 35:15
For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.

Job 35:16
Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe
