3. That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? And, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?
4. I will answer thee, And thy companions with thee.
5. Look unto the heavens, and see; And behold the skies, which are higher than thou.
6. If thou hast sinned, what effectest thou against him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
7. If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? Or what receiveth he of thy hand?
8. Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; And thy righteousness may profit a son of man.
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?
