Where is God my Maker?

Job 35:1-16
Elihu answered and said: "Do you think this to be just? Do you say, 'It is my right before God,'..."
If you have sinned what do you accomplish against him? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him? If you are righteous, what do you give to him? Or what does he receive from your hand?
Your wickedness concerns a man like yourself, and your righteousness a son of man.
But none says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night, who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?'
Surely God does not hear an empty cry, nor does the Almighty regard it.
Elihu sees good and bad conduct as a matter between people; God remains high above, untouched by either.
Why?
People cry out to him in their need. But they are concerned for their own skins, not for him. This is why he does not answer.
How?
Pray to the Lord for his Almighty, for his Glory, for his Love endure forever.
I am nothing without God!
