Job 35:1-8 ▼

1 Then Elihu continued, saying:

2 Do you think it is just when you say, “I am righteous before God”?

3 For you ask, “What does it profit you, and what benefit comes to me, if I do not sin? ”

4 I will answer you and your friends with you.

5 Look at the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds high above you.

6 If you sin, how does it affect God? If you multiply your transgressions, what does it do to him?

7 If you are righteous, what do you give him, or what does he receive from your hand?

8 Your wickedness affects a person like yourself, and your righteousness, a son of man.
