Job 35:3 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Job 35:2      Job 35:4

Job 35:3

because you say:
"What benefit does it [my righteousness] bring you [God]?
What can I gain [from living righteously, more than] from my sin [not sinning]?"
[Eliho begins his speech here in verses 2–3 by questioning the logic of Job's argument. The second part of verse 2 is concise and can be interpreted as Eliho believing that Job has said that "his righteousness is from God" or that he compared himself to God and considered himself to be more righteous than God himself. Verse 3 is also concise, but switches pronouns from you to I. This is based on Job's statements in Job 7:20; 9:29–31; 34:9.]
