Job - 35:3 Meaning
“For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
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.
“And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.”
