‘s?
35:3 Because you say, What advantage will it be to you? and, What
shall I profit  more than if I had

sinned?
35:4 I will answer you, and your friends.
35:5 Look to the heavens, and see; and look the clouds they are higher than you.
35:6 If you sin, what do you do against Him? or if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him?
35:7 If you are righteous, what do
you give to Him? or what does He receive  from your hand?
35:8 Your wickedness [is] for a man like you are; and your righteousness [may profit] a son of man.
35:9 From of the multitude of extortions they cry out for help: they cry out because of the forces of the mighty.
35:10 But none say, Where [is] Eloahאֱלוֹהַּ
Transliteration:’ĕlôha Pronunciation:el-o’-ah El appears in this form (El transl. God) rarely (shortened) אֱלֹהַּ ʼĕlôahh; probably prolonged (emphatic); a deity or the Deity:—God, god click here

El Shaddai is conventionally translated into English as God Almighty (Deus Omnipotens in Latin, Arabic: الله عزوجل, romanized: ʾAllāh ʿazzawajal), but its original meaning is unclear. One of God’s names Shaddai = Exhaustless Bounty click here
see it.
35:14 Although you say you can’t see Him, yet judgment is before him; so
you should trust in him.
35:15 But now, because His
anger hasn’t visited, and He doesn’t recognize great stupidity:
35:16 So does Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplies words without knowledge.
