Contextual Overview

¹ And Elihu made answer and said, ² Does it seem to you to be right, and righteousness before God, to say, ³ What profit is it to me, and how am I better off than if I had done wrong? ⁴ I will make answer to you and to your friends: ⁵ Let your eyes be turned to the heavens, and lifted up to see the skies; they are higher than you. ⁶ If you have done wrong, is he any the worse for it? and if your sins are great in number, what is it to him? ⁷ If you are upright, what do you give to him? or what does he take from your hand? ⁸ Your evil-doing may have an effect on a man like yourself, or your righteousness on a son of man.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Elihu spake moreover, and said. Elihu very probably paused awhile, and waited to observe whether any of the company would rise up, and either contradict and refute what he had said, or declare their assent unto it and approbation of it; or rather to see whether Job would make any reply or not; but perceiving no inclination in him to it, he proceeded to take notice of some other undue expressions of Job, and refute them; one of which is observed in Job 35:2, and the proof of it given in Job 35:3.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Elihu spake - Hebrew, ויען vaya‛an “And he answered”; the word “answer” being used, as it is often in the Scriptures, to denote the commencement of a discourse. We may suppose that Elihu had paused at the close of his second discourse, possibly with a view to see whether there was any disposition to reply.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXXV

Elihu accuses Job of impious speeches, 1-4.

No man can affect God by his iniquity, nor profit him by his

righteousness, 5-8.

Many are afflicted and oppressed, but few cry to God for help;

and, for want of faith, they continue in affliction, 9-16.
