Job 35:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 35:1

Elihu spake moreover, and said.

Job 35:1 In-Context

1 Then Elihu said:
2 “Do you think it is right for you to claim, ‘I am righteous before God’?
3 For you also ask, ‘What’s in it for me? What’s the use of living a righteous life?’
4 “I will answer you and all your friends, too.
5 Look up into the sky, and see the clouds high above you.
