Job 35:1

Job 35:1 In-Context

1 Elihu proceeded in his reasoning and said,

2 Dost thou think this to be right, when thou didst say, I am more righteous than God?

3 For thou didst say, What advantage will it be unto thee? And, What profit shall I have, if I am cleansed from my sin?

4 I will answer thee and thy companions with thee.

5 Look unto the heavens and see; and behold the heavens which are higher than thou.
