Job 35:6

"Look to the skies, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you."

Key Reflection

Job 35:6 challenges Job to look beyond his immediate circumstances by directing him to consider the grandeur and majesty of the heavens. This verse encourages Job to recognize that what he is experiencing on earth, though significant, pales in comparison to the vastness and power of God's creation. By highlighting the skies as higher than man, it invites reflection on the limitations of human understanding and the sovereignty of a divine presence above all earthly concerns.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? -This should not be interpreted as designed to justify sin, or as saying that there is no evil in it, or that God does not regard it. That is not the point or scope of the remark of Elihu. His object is to show that God is not influenced in his treatment of his creatures as people are in their treatment of each other. He has no “interest” in being partial, or in treating them otherwise than they deserve.
