Contextual Overview

¹ Elihu went on to say: ² "Are you so convinced you are right, that you say, ‘I am more just than God'? ³ For you ask what advantage it is to you, ‘How do I gain from not sinning?' ⁴ "Here is my answer to you, to you and to your friends: ⁵ Look at the heavens and see; observe the skies, high above you. ⁶ If you sin, how do you hurt him? If your crimes are many, how do you affect him? ⁷ If you are righteous, what do you give him? What benefit does he get from you? ⁸ Your wickedness can affect only others like you, and your righteousness only other human beings.

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.
