Verses 1-3
Job’s position of indifference 35:1-3
Job had said that living a righteous life does not benefit a person since God does not consistently bless the righteous and punish the wicked in this life (Job 9:30-31; cf. Job 34:9; Job 35:3). Elihu thought this assertion was hardly a sign of Job’s innocence. In Job 35:2 "more than God’s" is clearer if we read "before God." "You" in Job 35:3 probably refers to any person (impersonal "you") rather than God.
