Elihu continues to speak[a]

35 Elihu continued to speak to Job. This is what he said:

‘The things that you say cannot be true.
    You say, “I am more right than God is.”
But you also say, “If I do nothing wrong,
    God does not bless me.
    No good thing comes to me.”

Footnotes

  1. 35:1 Job has asked why he should live the right way. Elihu answers him now. Job may do good things or bad things. It does not matter to God, Elihu says (verses 1 to 8). Job has also asked why God does not answer his prayers. Elihu answers this, too. Job may have done wrong things, so God does not answer his prayers (verse 12). Or Job may not believe that God answers people's prayers (verse 13). None of these answers helps Job.
