Job 35:9–16
The New King James Version
9 “Because fof the multitude of oppressions they cry out;
They cry out for help because of the arm of the mighty.
10 But no one says, g‘Where is God my Maker,
hWho gives songs in the night,
11 Who iteaches us more than the beasts of the earth,
And makes us wiser than the birds of heaven?’
12 jThere they cry out, but He does not answer,
Because of the pride of evil men.
13 kSurely God will not listen to empty talk,
Nor will the Almighty regard it.
14 lAlthough you say you do not see Him,
Yet justice is before Him, and myou must wait for Him.
15 And now, because He has not npunished in His anger,
Nor taken much notice of folly,
16 oTherefore Job opens his mouth in vain;
He multiplies words without knowledge.”
Job 35:9–16 — The New International Version (NIV)
9 “People cry out under a load of oppression;
they plead for relief from the arm of the powerful.
10 But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
who gives songs in the night,
11 who teaches us more than he teaches the beasts of the earth
and makes us wiser than the birds in the sky?’
12 He does not answer when people cry out
because of the arrogance of the wicked.
13 Indeed, God does not listen to their empty plea;
the Almighty pays no attention to it.
14 How much less, then, will he listen
when you say that you do not see him,
that your case is before him
and you must wait for him,
15 and further, that his anger never punishes
and he does not take the least notice of wickedness.
16 So Job opens his mouth with empty talk;
without knowledge he multiplies words.”
Job 35:9–16 — English Standard Version (ESV)
9 “Because of the multitude of oppressions people cry out;
they call for help because of the arm of the mighty.
10 But none says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
who gives songs in the night,
11 who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth
and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’
12 There they cry out, but he does not answer,
because of the pride of evil men.
13 Surely God does not hear an empty cry,
nor does the Almighty regard it.
14 How much less when you say that you do not see him,
that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him!
15 And now, because his anger does not punish,
and he does not take much note of transgression,
16 Job opens his mouth in empty talk;
he multiplies words without knowledge.”
Job 35:9–16 — King James Version (KJV 1900)
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry:
They cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10 But none saith, Where is God my maker,
Who giveth songs in the night;
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth,
And maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
12 There they cry, but none giveth answer,
Because of the pride of evil men.
13 Surely God will not hear vanity,
Neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him,
Yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
15 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger;
Yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain;
He multiplieth words without knowledge.
Job 35:9–16 — New Living Translation (NLT)
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 35:9–16 — New Century Version (NCV)
9 “People cry out when they are in trouble;
they beg for relief from powerful people.
10 But no one asks, ‘Where is God, my Maker,
who gives us songs in the night,
11 who makes us smarter than the animals of the earth
and wiser than the birds of the air?’
12 God does not answer evil people when they cry out,
because the wicked are proud.
13 God does not listen to their useless begging;
the Almighty pays no attention to them.
14 He will listen to you even less
when you say that you do not see him,
that your case is before him,
that you must wait for him,
15 that his anger never punishes,
and that he doesn’t notice evil.
16 So Job is only speaking nonsense,
saying many words without knowing what is true.”
Job 35:9–16 — American Standard Version (ASV)
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out;
They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10 But none saith, Where is God my Maker,
Who giveth songs in the night,
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth,
And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens?
12 There they cry, but none giveth answer,
Because of the pride of evil men.
13 Surely God will not hear an empty cry,
Neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not,
The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him!
15 But now, because he hath not visited in his anger,
Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance;
16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity;
He multiplieth words without knowledge.
Job 35:9–16 — 1890 Darby Bible (DARBY)
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry; they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty: 10 But none saith, Where is †God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night, 11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowl of the heavens? 12 There they cry, and he answereth not, because of the pride of evil men. 13 Surely •God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 Although thou sayest thou dost not see him, judgment is before him, therefore wait for him. 15 But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, doth not Job know his great arrogancy? 16 For Job hath opened his mouth in vanity, and made words abundant without knowledge.
Job 35:9–16 — GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)
9 The weight of oppression makes them cry out.
The power of mighty people makes them call for help.
10 But no one asks,
‘Where is God, my Creator,
who inspires songs in the night,
11 who teaches us more than he teaches the animals of the earth,
who makes us wiser than the birds in the sky?’
12 Then they cry out, but he doesn’t answer them
because of the arrogance of ⸤those⸥ evil people.
13 “Surely, God doesn’t listen to idle complaints.
The Almighty doesn’t even pay attention to them.
14 Although you say that you pay attention to him,
your case is in front of him, but you’ll have to wait for him.
15 And now ⸤you say⸥ that his anger doesn’t punish ⸤anyone⸥
and he isn’t too concerned about evil.
16 Job opens his mouth for no good reason
and talks a lot without having any knowledge.”
Job 35:9–16 — The Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
9 People cry out because of severe oppression;
they shout for help because of the arm of the mighty.
10 But no one asks, “Where is God my Maker,
who provides us with songs in the night,
11 who gives us more understanding than the animals of the earth
and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?”
12 There they cry out, but He does not answer,
because of the pride of evil men.
13 Indeed, God does not listen to empty cries,
and the Almighty does not take note of it—
14 how much less when you complain
that you do not see Him,
that your case is before Him
and you are waiting for Him.
15 But now, because God’s anger does not punish
and He does not pay attention to transgression,
16 Job opens his mouth in vain
and multiplies words without knowledge.
Job 35:9–16 — The New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
9 “Because of the multitude of oppressions people cry out;
they call for help because of the arm of the mighty.
10 But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
who gives strength in the night,
11 who teaches us more than the animals of the earth,
and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?’
12 There they cry out, but he does not answer,
because of the pride of evildoers.
13 Surely God does not hear an empty cry,
nor does the Almighty regard it.
14 How much less when you say that you do not see him,
that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him!
15 And now, because his anger does not punish,
and he does not greatly heed transgression,
16 Job opens his mouth in empty talk,
he multiplies words without knowledge.”
Job 35:9–16 — The Lexham English Bible (LEB)
9 “Because of the multitude of oppressions, they cry out;
they cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.
10 But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
who gives songs in the night,
11 who teaches us more than the animals of the earth
and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’
12 There they cry out, but he does not answer
because of the pride of evildoers.
13 “Surely God does not hear an empty plea,
and Shaddai does not regard it.
14 How much less when you say that you do not see him,
that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him!
15 But now, because his anger does not punish,
and he does not acknowledge the transgression at all,
16 therefore Job opens his mouth in empty talk—
without knowledge he multiplies words.”
Job 35:9–16 — New International Reader’s Version (1998) (NIrV)
9 “People cry out when they are beaten down.
They beg to be set free from the power of those who are over them.
10 But no one says, ‘Where is the God who made me?
He gives us songs even during the night.
11 He teaches more to us than to wild animals.
He makes us wiser than the birds of the air.’
12 He doesn’t answer sinful people when they cry out to him.
That’s because they are so proud.
13 In fact, God doesn’t listen to their empty cries.
The Mighty One doesn’t pay any attention to them.
14 So he certainly won’t listen to you.
When you say you don’t see him, he won’t hear you.
He won’t listen when you state your case to him.
He won’t pay attention even if you wait for him.
15 When you say his anger never punishes sin, he won’t hear you.
He won’t listen when you say he doesn’t pay any attention to evil.
16 So you say things that don’t mean anything.
You use a lot of words,
but you don’t know what you are talking about.”
Job 35:9–16 — New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (NASB95)
9 “Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out;
They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.
10 “But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
Who gives songs in the night,
11 Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth
And makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’
12 “There they cry out, but He does not answer
Because of the pride of evil men.
13 “Surely God will not listen to an empty cry,
Nor will the Almighty regard it.
14 “How much less when you say you do not behold Him,
The case is before Him, and you must wait for Him!
15 “And now, because He has not visited in His anger,
Nor has He acknowledged transgression well,
16 So Job opens his mouth emptily;
He multiplies words without knowledge.”
