Job 35:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 35:1

Job 35:1 In-Context

1 Then Elihu continued, saying:

3 For you ask, "What does it profit You, and what benefit comes to me, if I do not sin?"

4 I will answer you and your friends with you.

5 Look at the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds high above you.
