Job 35:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 35:1

Elihu spake moreover, and said.
] Elihu very probably paused awhile, and waited to observe whether any of the company would rise up, and either contradict and refute what he had said, or declare their assent unto it and approbation of it; or rather to see whether Job would make any reply or not; but perceiving no inclination in him to it, he proceeded to take notice of some other undue expressions of Job, and refute them; one of which is observed in ( Job 35:2 ) , and the proof of it given in ( Job 35:3 ) .

Job 35:1 In-Context

1 Then Elihu said:
2 “Do you think this is just? You say, ‘I am in the right, not God.’
3 Yet you ask him, ‘What profit is it to me,and what do I gain by not sinning?’
4 “I would like to reply to you and to your friends with you.
5 Look up at the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds so high above you.
