Job 35:5-8
GOD’S WORD Translation
Human Behavior Cannot Change God
5 “Look at the heavens and see.
Observe the clouds high above you.
6 If you’ve sinned, what effect can you have on God?
If you’ve done many wrongs, what can you do to him?
7 If you’re righteous, what can you give him,
or what can he get from you?
8 Your wickedness affects only someone like yourself.
Your righteousness affects only the descendants of Adam.
Job 35:5-8

gaze at the clouds so high above you.(B)
6 If you sin, how does that affect him?
If your sins are many, what does that do to him?(C)
7 If you are righteous, what do you give to him,(D)
or what does he receive(E) from your hand?(F)
8 Your wickedness only affects humans like yourself,(G)
and your righteousness only other people.(H)
