New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 35
9 “People cry out when they are oppressed. They groan beneath the power of the mighty.
10 Yet they don’t ask, ‘Where is God my Creator, the one who gives songs in the night?
11 Where is the one who makes us smarter than the animals and wiser than the birds of the sky?’
12 And when they cry out, God does not answer because of their pride.
13 But it is wrong to say God doesn’t listen, to say the Almighty isn’t concerned.
14 You say you can’t see him, but he will bring justice if you will only wait.
15 You say he does not respond to sinners with anger and is not greatly concerned about wickedness.
16 But you are talking nonsense, Job. You have spoken like a fool.”
Job 36
1 Elihu continued speaking:
2 “Let me go on, and I will show you the truth. For I have not finished defending God!
3 I will present profound arguments for the righteousness of my Creator.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
