Job 35:1-8 ▼

1 Then Elihu answered and said,

2 “Do you think this is according to justice? Do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s’?

3 For you say, ‘What use will it be to You? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’

4 I will respond to you, And your friends with you.

5 Look at the heavens and see; And perceive the clouds—they are higher than you.

6 If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against Him? And if your transgressions are many, what do you do to Him?

7 If you are righteous, what do you give to Him, Or what does He receive from your hand?

8 Your wickedness is for a man like yourself, And your righteousness is for a son of man.
