THE MESSAGE
"Well, I'm going to show you that you don't know what you're talking about, neither you nor your friends. Look up at the sky. Take a long hard look. See those clouds towering above you? If you sin, what difference could that make to God? No matter how much you sin, will it matter to him? Even if you're good, what would God get out of that? Do you think he's dependent on your accomplishments? The only ones who care whether you're good or bad are your family and friends and neighbors. God's not dependent on your behavior.

Contextual Overview
1 Moreover Elihu, responded and said: - 2 This, dost thou think to be right? Thou hast said - My righteousness is more than GOD'S. 3 For thou dost say, How can one profit by thee? How can I benefit, more than by my sin? 4 I, will answer thee plainly, and thy friends with thee. 5 Look at the heavens and see, - and survey the skies - they are higher than thou. 6 If thou sinnest, what canst thou work against him? Or, if thy transgressions be multiplied, what canst thou do unto him? 7 If thou art righteous, what canst thou give unto him? Or what, at thy hand, can he accept? 8 Unto a man like thyself, might thy lawlessness reach , and, unto a son of the earth-born, thy righteousness.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. Meaning not his three friends, as the Septuagint version expresses it; for they were not on the side of Job, and of the same sentiment with him, but rather on the side of Elihu; especially Eliphaz, who expresses much the same sentiment he does, Job 22:2; but all that were of the same mind with Job, whether present or absent, or in whatsoever part of the world; the answer he should return to him would serve for them all, and sufficiently confute such a bad notion of God, let it be embraced by whomsoever.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I will answer thee - Margin, “return to thee words.” Elihu meant to explain this more fully than it had been done by the friends of Job, and to show where Job was in error.
And thy companions with thee - Eliphaz, in Job 22:2, had taken up the same inquiry, and proposed to discuss the subject, but he had gone at once into severe charges against Job, and been drawn into language of harsh crimination, instead of making the matter clear, and Elihu now proposes to state just how it is, and to remove the objections of Job. It may be doubted, however, whether he was much more successful than Eliphaz had been. The doctrine of the future state, as it is revealed by Christianity, was needful to enable these speakers to comprehend and explain this subject.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Job 35:4. I will answer thee — I will show thee the evil of a sinful way, and the benefit of righteousness; and supply what thy friends have omitted in their discourses with thee.
