If you are righteous, what give you to him? or what receives he of your hand?
All Commentaries on Job 35:7 Go To Job 35
John Chrysostom
AD 407
These words mean, you will do no wrong to him, and you will not be more useful to him by being righteous. In fact, he said, “If I have sinned, what shall I be able to do?” What shall I do to you? Elihu says, Why did you say that? Does God care about the fact that you sinned, as if he is the victim of an injustice or as if he is suffering damage?
