Job 35:1-8 ▼

1 After this, Eliu again spoke in this way:

2 Does it seem right to you in your thoughts, that you should say, “I am more just than God?”

3 For you said, “Having done what is right does not please you,” and, “How will it benefit you, if I sin?”

4 And so, I will respond to your words, and to your friends who are with you.

5 Look up towards heaven and consider; also, think about the sky, which is higher than you.

6 If you sin, how will it hurt him? And if your iniquities are multiplied, what will you do against him?

7 Furthermore, if you act justly, what will you give him, or what will he receive from your hand?

8 Your impiety may hurt a man who is like you, though your justice may help the son of the man.
