Albert Barnes Commentary Job 35:2

"Thinkest thou this to be [thy] right, [Or] sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God`s," — Job 35:2 (ASV)

Do you think this to be right? - This is the point which Elihu now proposes to examine. He, therefore, solemnly appeals to Job himself to determine whether he could himself say that he thought such a sentiment correct.

That you said, My righteousness is more than God’s - Job had nowhere said this in so many words, but Elihu regarded it as the substance of what he had said, or thought that what he had said amounted to the same thing. He had dwelt much on his own sincerity and uprightness of life; he had maintained that he had not been guilty of such crimes as to make these calamities deserved, and he had indulged in severe reflections on the dealings of God with him (Job 10:13–15).

All this Elihu interprets as equivalent to saying, that he was more righteous than his Maker. It cannot be denied that Job had given occasion for this interpretation of his sentiments, though it cannot be supposed that he would have affirmed this in so many words.
