Discovery BoxJob 35:5-7 
Context35:5 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
35:7 If you are righteous, what do you give to God,
or what does he receive from your hand?
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.
