Day 1 · Elihu Recalls God’s Justice
Job 35:1–8
1And Elihu went on to say: 2“Do you think this is just? You say, ‘I am more righteous than God.’ 3For you ask, ‘What does it profit me, and what benefit do I gain apart from sin?’ 4I will reply to you and to your friends as well. 5Look to the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds high above you. 6If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? If you multiply your transgressions, what do you do to Him? 7If you are righteous, what do you give Him, or what does He receive from your hand? 8Your wickedness affects only a man like yourself, and your righteousness only a son of man.
