Bible Chapter Summary
Job 35 Summary
The Limits of Human Complaint
Elihu challenges Job's belief that his righteousness gives him advantage over God, explaining that sin and righteousness affect men but do not profit or harm the Almighty. When the oppressed cry out, few recognize God as their maker who gives songs in the night. Elihu concludes that God will not heed vanity and that Job opens his mouth vainly, multiplying words without knowledge.
