Job 35:15

But now, because it is not so, He hath visited in His anger; yet he knoweth it not in his great extremity.
But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance;
“And now, because He has not [quickly] punished in His anger, Nor has He acknowledged transgression and arrogance well [and seems unaware of the wrong of which a person is guilty],
But now because God has not [speedily] punished in His anger and seems to be unaware of the wrong and oppression [of which a person is guilty],
But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
But now, because God’s anger does not punish and he does not pay attention to transgression,
But now, because God’s anger does not punish and he does not pay attention to transgression,
Even though his anger is now held back, a person doesn’t know it’s only delayed.
But now, just because he doesn’t get angry and punish, does it mean he doesn’t know what arrogance is?
Job, you were wrong to say God doesn't punish sin.
But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, doth not [Job] know [his] great arrogancy?
For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.
“Job thinks that God does not punish evil and that he pays no attention to sin.
You also say that God does not become angry with people who do wrong things. You say that he does not punish bad people.
Besides that, you say that his anger has not demanded an accounting, and that he does not fully understand sin.
And now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not take much note of transgression,
And now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not take much note of transgression,
that his anger never punishes, and that he doesn’t notice evil.
But now because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the evil with great extremity,
And now ⌞you say⌟ that his anger doesn’t punish ⌞anyone⌟ and he isn’t too concerned about evil.
You think that God does not punish, that he pays little attention to sin.
But now, because God’s anger does not punish and He does not pay attention to transgression,
He will not listen when you say his anger never punishes and that he doesn’t notice evil.
“So now, if he doesn’t inflict punishment in his anger, then he doesn’t keep track of your many transgressions.
But now, because he has not visited in wrath; nor is it known in great extremity;
But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
And now, because He has not visited in His anger, Nor has He acknowledged transgression well,
But now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not acknowledge the transgression at all,
and it is even more false to say that he doesn’t see what is going on. He does bring about justice at last if you will only wait. But do you cry out against him because he does not instantly respond in anger?
“When times get bad, people cry out for help. They cry for relief from being kicked around, But never give God a thought when things go well, when God puts spontaneous songs in their hearts, When God sets out the entire creation as a science classroom, using birds and beasts to teach wisdom. People are arrogantly indifferent to God— until, of course, they’re in trouble, and then God is indifferent to them. There’s nothing behind such prayers except panic; the Almighty pays them no mind. So why would he notice you just because you say you’re tired of waiting to be heard, Or waiting for him to get good and angry and do something about the world’s problems?
But now, because He has not punished in His anger, nor taken much notice of folly,
And now you say that his anger doesn’t punish anyone and he isn’t too concerned about evil.
But now that you have done otherwise, God’s anger punishes, nor does he show much concern over a life.
And now, because He has not avenged His anger, Nor has He acknowledged wrongdoing well,
“And now, because He has not visited in His anger, Nor has He acknowledged transgression well,
But now, because God does not grow angry and punish and because he allows transgressions to go unheeded,
that his anger never punishes, and that he doesn’t notice evil.
And further, when you say that his anger does not punish, and that he does not know transgression!
When you say his anger never punishes sin, he won’t hear you. He won’t listen when you say he doesn’t pay any attention to evil.
and further, that his anger never punishes and he does not take the least notice of wickedness.
and further, that his anger never punishes and he does not take the least notice of wickedness.
And now, because He has not punished in His anger, Nor taken much notice of folly,
And now, because God has not punished in His anger, and does not watch for sin,
You say he does not respond to sinners with anger and is not greatly concerned about wickedness.
And now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not greatly heed transgression,
And now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not greatly heed transgression,
And now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not greatly heed transgression,
And now, because his anger does not punish and he does not greatly heed transgression,
though ye say His anger does not pakad (visit, punish) anything and that He does not regard wickedness much;
“But now, because His anger has not visited or called the evil to account with great extremity,
And now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not greatly heed transgression,
And now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not greatly heed transgression,
And further, that His anger does not punish and that He does not know transgression?
And now, here we are. Because God has not been swift to punish in His anger, because He does not concern Himself with great arrogance,
But now, because he has not visited in his anger, neither does he greatly regard arrogance,
For now the Lord bringeth not in his strong vengeance, (n)either he vengeth felonies greatly here. (But here and now, the Lord bringeth not in his strong vengeance, nor greatly avengeth felonies;)
And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.
