Contextual Overview

¹ Elihu spoke moreover, and said, ² Thinkest thou this to be right, [that] thou saidst, My righteousness [is] more than God's? ³ For thou saidst, What advantage will it be to thee? [and], What profit shall I have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin? ⁴ I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. ⁵ Look to the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds [which] are higher than thou. ⁶ If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or [if] thy transgressions are multiplied, what doest thou to him? ⁷ If thou art righteous, what givest thou to him? or what receiveth he from thy hand? ⁸ Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou [art]: and thy righteousness [may profit] the son 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.
