Job 35:1-8 ▼

1 Moreover Elihu answered and said:

2 Thinkest thou this to be thy right, Or sayest thou: 'I am righteousness before God',

3 That thou inquirest: 'What advantage will it be unto Thee?' And: 'What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?'

4 I will give thee answer, And thy companions with thee.

5 Look unto the heavens, and see; And behold the skies, which are higher than thou.

6 If thou hast sinned, what doest thou against Him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto Him?

7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou Him? Or what receiveth He of thy hand?

8 Thy wickedness concerneth a man as thou art; And thy righteousness a son of man.
