Job 35:2

1 And Elihu went on to say:

“Do you think this is just? You say, ‘I am more righteous than God.’

3 For you ask, ‘What does it profit me, and what benefit do I gain apart from sin?’

4 I will reply to you and to your friends as well.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
