[:en]Thoughts from Job 35[:]

[:en]When Job asked God:  “What profit is it to me and what do I gain by not sinning? (v. 3).   Elihu responded:  “Your wickedness affects a man like yourself, and your righteousness only the sons of men” (v. 8).  Elihu said that men cry out to the Lord and plead for relief but God does not listen to the empty plea nor answer because of the arrogance of the wicked. (vs. 9, 12).  No one acknowledge God as their maker who gives songs in the night and make us wiser than birds of the air (vs. 10-11)[:]
