Job 35:1-8 ▼

1 Moreover Elihu answered and said,

2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?

3 For thou hast asked of what profit it is unto thee: what do I gain more than if I had sinned?

4 I will reply to thee in words, and to thy companions with thee.

5 Look unto the heavens and see; and survey the skies: they are higher than thou.

6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou to him? or what doth he receive of thy hand?

8 Thy wickedness [may affect] a man as thou [art], and thy righteousness a son of man.
