[Job 34](/study/job/34) [Job 36](/study/job/36) ## Commentary To verse 1 CHAP. XXXV. *Comparison is not to be made with God, because our good or evil cannot extend unto him. Many cry in their afflictions; but are not heard, for want of faith.* *Before Christ 1645.* ***[Job 35:1](/kjv/job/35/1)*****.*****Elihu spake moreover*****—** Elihu puts it to Job's conscience, whether he thought it could be right to gain his acquittal by an impeachment of God's justice; yet, he tells him, he must have thought after this manner, otherwise he would never have made use of such an atheistical expression, as, "that he had no profit by doing his duty, more than if he had sinned;" referring, probably, to chap. [Job 23:11](/kjv/job/23/11); [Job 23:15](/kjv/job/23/15). That he ought to consider that God was so far above the influence of all human actions, that neither could their good deeds be of any advantage to him, nor could their evil deeds affect him; [Job 35:2-7](/kjv/job/35/2-7). They might, indeed, affect themselves or their neighbours: they might suffer from the oppressions of men, and cry aloud to God to relieve them; but if this cry was not made with an entire dependance on, and a perfect resignation to the will of God, it would be quite fruitless: God would not give the least ear to it; [Job 35:8-14](/kjv/job/35/8-14). Much less ought they in every affliction to be flying in the face of the Almighty, and shaking off his sovereignty; that they ought rather to wait his leisure with patience; and that Job himself would not have acted in this manner had he not been hurried away by too great a self-confidence; [Job 35:15-16](/kjv/job/35/15-16).
