Job 35:8 Context
6If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou vnto him? 7If thou be righteous, what giuest thou him? or what receiueth hee of thine hand? 8Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art, and thy righteousnesse may profit the sonne of man. 9By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to crie: they crie out by reason of the arme of the mightie. 10But none saith, where is God my maker, who giueth songs in the night?
