Thinkest thou this to be right

Job 35:1–8, “Elihu spake moreover, and said, Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s? For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin? I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.”

Elihu was so filled with his own importance and the subsequent sense of frustration at everything that he had heard. He accused Job of claiming that Job was more righteous than God. He told Job to look up to the heavens and see that the clouds were higher that anything on earth. He told Job that God was good and Job was bad. Some of what he was saying is correct but his conclusions were not because he didn’t know enough about God or the way that God works.
