Contextual Overview

¹ And Elihu answereth and saith: -- ² This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said -- `My righteousness [is] more than God's?' <sup>3</sup> For thou sayest, `What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?' ⁴ I return thee words, and thy friends with thee, ⁵ Behold attentively the heavens -- and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou. ⁶ If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him? ⁷ If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive? ⁸ For a man like thyself [is] thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.

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.
