Contextual Overview

¹It is not right, Job, for you to say that you are innocent in God's sight, <³ or to ask God, "How does my sin affect you? What have I gained by not sinning?" ⁴ I am going to answer you and your friends too. ⁵ Look at the sky! See how high the clouds are! ⁶ If you sin, that does no harm to God. If you do wrong many times, does that affect him? ⁷ Do you help God by being so righteous? There is nothing God needs from you. ⁸ Others suffer from your sins, and the good you do helps them.

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.
