5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
5 Look up at the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds so high above you.
5 Look at the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds, which are higher than you.
5 Look up at the sky. Take a long hard look. See those clouds towering above you?
5 Look to the heavens and see; And behold the clouds-- They are higher than you.
5 Look up into the sky, and see the clouds high above you.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 35:5
Commentary on Job 35:1-8
(Read Job 35:1-8)
Elihu reproves Job for justifying himself more than God, and called his attention to the heavens. They are far above us, and God is far above them; how much then is he out of the reach, either of our sins or of our services! We have no reason to complain if we have not what we expect, but should be thankful that we have better than we deserve.
