Contextual Overview

¹ Then Elihu said: ² "Do you think it is right for you to claim, ‘I am righteous before God'? ³ For you also ask, ‘What's in it for me? What's the use of living a righteous life?' ⁴ "I will answer you and all your friends, too. ⁵ Look up into the sky, and see the clouds high above you. ⁶ If you sin, how does that affect God? Even if you sin again and again, what effect will it have on him? ⁷ If you are good, is this some great gift to him? What could you possibly give him? ⁸ No, your sins affect only people like yourself, and your good deeds also affect only humans.

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.
