Contextual Overview

¹ Then Elihu said, ² "Do you think this is right? Do you say, ‘I am more right than God'? ³ For you ask, ‘What will You get by it? How will it be better for me than if I had sinned?' ⁴ I will answer you, and your friends with you. ⁵ Look at the heavens and see. See the clouds which are higher than you. ⁶ If you have sinned, what does that do to God? If you have done many wrongs, what does that do to Him? ⁷ If you are right and good, what do you give to Him? What does He receive from you? ⁸ Your wrong-doing may hurt another man and your being right and good may help him.

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.
