Job 35:5-6

Context

35:5 Gaze at the heavens and see;

consider the clouds, which are higher than you! 1 

35:6 If you sin, how does it affect God? 2 

If your transgressions are many,

what does it do to him? 3 

1 tn The preposition is taken here as a comparative min (מִן). The line could also read “that are high above you.” This idea has appeared in the speech of Eliphaz (22:12), Zophar (11:7ff.), and even Job (9:8ff.).

2 tn Heb “him” (also in v. 7); the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tn See Job 7:20.
