Job 35:5

Verse 5. Thee. Thy sin cannot hurt, nor thy virtue add any thing to God. He is not therefore actuated by resentment, or jealousy, but by justice. Calmet.—He revenges the injury done by the sinner to himself, verse 8. Saint Augustine Conf. iii. 8.—The inference is therefore wrong, ( Calmet.) that God will not regard the sins or punishment of men, because he thence derives no profit, verse 3. Bible.—The strong sentences of Eliu agree not (or are ill-applied) to the blessed Job. Saint Gregory xxvi. 7. Worthington.
