Job 35:3

Context

35:3 But you say, ‘What will it profit you,’ 1 

and, ‘What do I gain by not sinning?’ 2 

1 tn The referent of “you” is usually understood to be God.

2 tn The Hebrew text merely says, “What do I gain from my sin?” But Job has claimed that he has not sinned, and so this has to be elliptical: “more than if I had sinned” (H. H. Rowley, Job [NCBC], 224). It could also be, “What do I gain without sin?”
