7 If you are righteous, what do you give to him? Or what does he receive from your hand?

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 35:7

Commentary on Job 35:1-8

(Read Job 35:1-8)

Elihu reproves Job for justifying himself more than God, and called his attention to the heavens. They are far above us, and God is far above them; how much then is he out of the reach, either of our sins or of our services! We have no reason to complain if we have not what we expect, but should be thankful that we have better than we deserve.
