SCRIPTURE

"I will answer thee, And thy companions with thee." — Job 35:4 (ASV)

And your companions. —Elihu professes to answer Job’s friends as well as himself, but what he says (Job 35:5 and following) is very much what Eliphaz had said before (Job 15:14 and following, Job 22:3 and following, and Bildad in Job 25:1 and following). It is indeed true that God is too high to be affected by man’s righteousness or unrighteousness, but it does not follow therefore that He is indifferent, for then He would not be a righteous judge. (See Note on Job 34:9.)
