Contextual Overview

¹ Elihu continued talking and said, ² "Job, it is not fair for you to say, ‘I am more right than God,' ³ because you also ask him, ‘What's the use of trying to please you? What good will it do me if I don't sin?' ⁴ "Job, I want to answer you and your friends here with you. ⁵ Look up at the sky. Look at the clouds, which are so much higher than you. ⁶ If you sin, it does not hurt God. Even if your sins are too many to count, that does nothing to God. ⁷ And if you are good, that does not help God. He gets nothing from you. ⁸ Job, the good and bad things you do affect only other people like yourself.

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.
