New American Standard Bible
Chapter 35
1Then Elihu continued and said,
2'Do you think this is in accordance with justice? Do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s’?
3For you say, ‘What advantage will it be to You? What benefit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’
4I will answer you, And your friends with you.
5Look at the heavens and see; And look at the clouds—they are higher than you.
6If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against Him? And if your wrongdoings are many, what do you do to Him?
King James Version
Chapter 35
1Elihu spake moreover, and said, 2Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's? 3For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin? 4I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. 5Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. 6If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?Christian Standard Bible

1Then Elihu continued, saying:
2Do you think it is just when you say, "I am righteous before God"?
3For you ask, "What does it profit you, and what benefit comes to me, if I do not sin? "
4I will answer you and your friends with you.
5Look at the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds high above you.
6If you sin, how does it affect God? If you multiply your transgressions, what does it do to him?
