Job 35:2 in context

The verses around it, from Job 35.

1 And Elihu went on to say:

2 “Do you think this is just? You say, ‘I am more righteous than God.’

3 For you ask, ‘What does it profit me, and what benefit do I gain apart from sin?’

4 I will reply to you and to your friends as well.

5 Look to the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds high above you.

6 If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? If you multiply your transgressions, what do you do to Him?
