Job 35:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 35:1

Elihu spake moreover, and said.
] Elihu very probably paused awhile, and waited to observe whether any of the company would rise up, and either contradict and refute what he had said, or declare their assent unto it and approbation of it; or rather to see whether Job would make any reply or not; but perceiving no inclination in him to it, he proceeded to take notice of some other undue expressions of Job, and refute them; one of which is observed in ( Job 35:2 ) , and the proof of it given in ( Job 35:3 ) .

Job 35:1 In-Context

1 Moreover Eliu spoke these words:

2 Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say: I am more just than God?

3 For thou saidst: That which is right doth not please thee: or what will it profit thee if I sin?

4 Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.

5 Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.
