Job 35:2-8

2“Do you think this to be just: when you say, ‘My right before God.’

3But you say, ‘What will it profit you,’ and, ‘What do I gain by not sinning?’

4I will reply to you, and to your friends with you.

5Gaze at the heavens and see; consider the clouds, which are higher than you!

6If you sin, how does it affect God? If your transgressions are many, what does it do to him?

7If you are righteous, what do you give to God, or what does he receive from your hand?

8Your wickedness affects only a person like yourself, and your righteousness only other people.
