Immediate context (±2 verses)

ASV

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?

There they cry, but none giveth answer, Because of the pride of evil men. 13. Surely God will not hear an empty cry, Neither will the Almighty regard it. (Job 35:9-13, ASV)

9. Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty. 10. And none said, 'Where [is] God my maker? Giving songs in the night,

11. Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'

There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers. 13. Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it. (Job 35:9-13, YLT)

Why these four translations

ris3n chose ASV, WEB, KJV, and YLT for two reasons together. They are the most literal English translations available (formal-equivalence: word-for-word renderings that preserve the Hebrew and Greek grammar rather than smoothing it into modern dynamic-equivalence idiom). And they are in the public domain in the United States, which means fair-use quotation at any length requires no publisher license. Modern licensed translations (NASB95, ESV, NIV) restrict volume of quotation under their copyright terms, so they are not used at stub-level coverage here. NASB95 appears only on hand-curated rich passage hubs under Lockman Foundation's fair-use allowance.

The four:

ASV (American Standard Version, 1901). The basis of the modern critical-text English tradition.
WEB (World English Bible, contemporary). Public-domain revision in the ASV line, in current English.
KJV (King James Version, 1611). Reformation-era, Textus Receptus base.
YLT (Young's Literal Translation, Robert Young, 1862). Hyper-literal preservation of Hebrew and Greek grammar; useful for word-study work even where English reads stiff.
