Many Cry in Affliction, But Are Not Heard for Lack of Faith

 
Moreover Elihu answered, +
"Do you think this to be your right,or do you say, 'My righteousness is more than God's,' +
That you ask, 'What advantage will it be to you?What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?' +
I will answer you,and your companions with you. +
Look to the heavens, and see.See the skies, which are higher than you. +
If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him?If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him? +
If you are righteous, what do you give him?Or what does he receive from your hand? +
Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are,and your righteousness may profit a son of man.
"By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out.They cry for help by reason 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 sky?' +
12 
There they cry, but no one gives 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 you say you don't see him.The cause is before him, and you wait for him! +
15 
But now, because he has not visited in his anger,neither does he greatly regard arrogance. +
16 
Therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk,and he multiplies words without knowledge." +
