Charles Ellicott 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)

My righteousness is more than God’s. —See Job 19:6 and following. Job had not said this in so many words, but what he had said could be understood in that way, and perhaps seemed to imply it. (Job 10:15.)

Here, again, there was a misrepresentation of what Job had said. He certainly did not mean that he was none the better for being righteous; on the contrary, he had distinctly said, Let mine enemy be as the wicked, etc. (Job 27:7 and following), because he could not delight himself in God; but it was perfectly true that he had said that his righteousness had not delivered him from suffering.
