Contextual Overview

¹Then Elihu continued, saying:²Do you think it is just when you say,“I am righteous before God”? ³For you ask, “What does it profit you,and what benefit comes to me, if I do not sin?” ⁴I will answer youand your friends with you. ⁵Look at the heavens and see;gaze at the clouds high above you. ⁶If you sin, how does it affect God?If you multiply your transgressions, what does it do to him? ⁷If you are righteous, what do you give him,or what does he receive from your hand? ⁸Your wickedness affects a person like yourself,and your righteousness, 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.
