Job 35:1-7

1 Entonces continuó Eliú, y dijo:

2 ¿Piensas que esto es justo? Dices: "Mi justicia es más que la de Dios."

3 Porque dices: "¿Qué ventaja será para ti? ¿Qué ganaré yo por no haber pecado?"

4 Yo te daré razones, y a tus amigos contigo.

5 Mira a los cielos y ve, contempla las nubes, son más altas que tú.

6 Si has pecado, ¿qué logras tú contra El? Y si tus transgresiones son muchas, ¿qué le haces?

7 Si eres justo, ¿qué le das, o qué recibe El de tu mano?

Job 35:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 35

Is this chapter Elihu goes on to charge Job with other unbecoming speeches, which he undertakes to refute; as that he had represented his cause more just than God's, and religion and righteousness as things unprofitable to men, only to God; to which Elihu takes upon him to make answer, Job 35:1-8; and that the cries of the oppressed were not heard by the Lord, so as to give occasion to songs of praise and thankfulness, to which he replies, Job 35:9-13; and that Job had expressed diffidence and despair of ever seeing and enjoying the favour of God, which he endeavours to remove, Job 35:14-16.
