Contextual Overview

¹ Then Elihu answered: ² "Do you think this to be just: when you say, ‘My right before God.' ³ But you say, ‘What will it profit you,' and, ‘What do I gain by not sinning?' ⁴ I will reply to you, and to your friends with you. ⁵ Gaze at the heavens and see; consider the clouds, which are higher than you! ⁶ If you sin, how does it affect God? If your transgressions are many, what does it do to him? ⁷ If you are righteous, what do you give to God, or what does he receive from your hand? ⁸ Your wickedness affects only a person like yourself, and your righteousness only other people.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Elihu spake - Hebrew, ויען vaya‛an “And he answered”; the word “answer” being used, as it is often in the Scriptures, to denote the commencement of a discourse. We may suppose that Elihu had paused at the close of his second discourse, possibly with a view to see whether there was any disposition to reply.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXXV

Elihu accuses Job of impious speeches, 1-4.

No man can affect God by his iniquity, nor profit him by his

righteousness, 5-8.

Many are afflicted and oppressed, but few cry to God for help;

and, for want of faith, they continue in affliction, 9-16.
