Contextual Overview

1 Elihu spake moreouer, and said, 2 Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God? 3 For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me fro my sinne? 4 Therefore will I answere thee, & thy companions with thee. 5 Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou. 6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him? 7 If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand? 8 Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne 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.
