Job 35:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 35:1

Elihu spake moreover, and said.

Job 35:1 In-Context

1 And Elius resumed and said,
2 What is this that thou thinkest to be according to right? who art thou that thou hast said, I am righteous before the Lord?
3 I will answer thee, and thy three friends.
4 Look up to the sky and see; and consider the clouds, how high above thee.
5 If thou hast sinned, what wilt thou do?
