σὺ τίς εἶ ὅτι εἶπας·

35:5 If you have sinned, what will you do? 35:5 If you have sinned, what will you do?

9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.

35:9 ἀπὸ πλήθους συκοφαντούμενοι κεκράξονται, βοήσονται ἀπὸ βραχίονος πολλῶν. 35:9 ἀπὸ πλήθους συκοφαντούμενοι κεκράξονται, βοήσονται ἀπὸ βραχίονος πολλῶν.

12 There they cry, but none gives answer, because of the pride of evil men.

35:12 ἐκεῖ κεκράξονται, καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ καὶ ἀπὸ ὕβρεως πονηρῶν. 35:12 ἐκεῖ κεκράξονται, καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ καὶ ἀπὸ ὕβρεως πονηρῶν.

13 Surely God won't hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
