1 Moreover Elihu answered, 2 “Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’ 3 that you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’ 4 I will answer you, and your companions with you. 5 Look to the skies, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you. 6 If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him? 7 If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand? 8 Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit a son of man. Job 35:1-8, World English Bible. Public domain.
