Job 35:1-8 ▼

1 Then Elihu continued and said,

2 “Do you think this is in accordance with justice? Do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s’?

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

4 “I will answer you, And your friends with you.

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

6 “If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against Him? And if your wrongdoings 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.
