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

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.

Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air.

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