Job 35:1-7

1 Y procediendo Eliú en su razonamiento, dijo:

2 ¿Piensas ser conforme a derecho esto que dijiste: Más justo soy yo que Dios?

3 Porque dijiste: ¿Qué ventaja sacaras tú de ello? ¿O qué provecho tendré de mi pecado?

4 Yo te responderé razones, y a tus compañeros contigo.

5 Mira a los cielos, y ve, y considera que los cielos son más altos que tú.

6 Si pecares, ¿qué habrás hecho contra él? Y si tus rebeliones se multiplicaren, ¿qué le harás tú?

7 Si fueres justo, ¿qué le darás a él? ¿O qué recibirá 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.
