35:2 Thinkest thou this to be right, [that] thou saidst, My {a} righteousness [is] more than God's?
(a) Job never spoke these words: but because he maintained his innocency, it seemed as though he would say, that God tormented him without just cause.
35:2 Thou saidst - Not that Job said this in express terms, but he said those things from which this might seem to follow, as that God had punished him more than he deserved.
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.
