Read in context

Job 35:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 If you are righteous, what do you give Him, or what does He receive from your hand?

8 Your wickedness affects only a man like yourself, and your righteousness only a son of man.

9 Men cry out under great oppression; they plead for relief from the arm of the mighty.

10 But no one asks, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives us songs in the night,

11 who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?’
