2. 勝於——更當如伯9:2；25:4那樣譯作：「我在神面前是義的（直譯為：我的義是在神面前）。」然而英文譯本的譯法與伯9:17；16:12-17；27:2-6相符。伯4:17兩種譯法皆可。以利戶的意思是約伯雖沒有用這許多話如此說，卻是實際上如此說了。
英語原文
2. more than--rather as in
Job 9:2; 25:4:
"I am righteous (literally, my righteousness is) before God." The English Version, however, agrees with
Job 9:17; 16:12-17; 27:2-6.
Job 4:17
is susceptible of either rendering. Elihu means Job said so, not in so many words, but virtually.

3. 更當譯作，是對伯35:2中「這」的解釋：「你說（對你自己說，仿佛你是另一個人）這（你的正直）對你有甚麼益處？我（因著正直）比（我若）犯罪多得甚麼利潤？」即比如果我犯了罪還多（伯34:9）。約伯曾說，使用這些話的惡人並不因此受苦（伯21:13-15）；他如此行，實際上是認同了他們的見解。同樣由間接轉為直接稱呼的轉換，見於伯19:28；22:17。
英語原文
3. Rather, explanatory of "this" in
Job 35:2,
"That thou sayest (to thyself, as if a distinct person) What advantage is it (thy integrity) to thee? What profit have I (by integrity) more than (I should have) by my sin?" that is, more than if I had sinned
(Job 34:9).
Job had said that the wicked, who use these very words, do not suffer for it
(Job 21:13-15);
whereby he virtually sanctioned their sentiments. The same change of persons from oblique to direct address occurs
(Job 19:28; 22:17).

5-8. 以利戶如以利法一樣（伯22:2, 3, 12），指出神在本性上太高超了，不會因人的義或罪而受益或受損；人行義是使自己得益，犯罪是使自己受害。
觀看雲彩，它們比你更高——帶有諷刺地說。它們不僅比你更高，你甚至不能用眼睛清楚地觸及它們。然而這些還不及神的寶座那樣高。因此神高超到不依賴人。所以祂沒有任何動機在對待人上不公。當祂使人受苦時，必是出於不同的動機；即受苦者的益處。
英語原文
5-8. Elihu like Eliphaz
(Job 22:2, 3, 12)
shows that God is too exalted in nature to be susceptible of benefit or hurt from the righteousness or sin of men respectively; it is themselves that they benefit by righteousness, or hurt by sin.
behold the clouds, which are higher than thou--spoken with irony. Not only are they higher than thou, but thou canst not even reach them clearly with the eye. Yet these are not as high as God's seat. God is therefore too exalted to be dependent on man. Therefore He has no inducement to injustice in His dealings with man. When He afflicts, it must be from a different motive; namely, the good of the sufferer.

9.（傳4:1。）
以利戶以約伯自己的話（伯24:12，30:20）陳述這個難題：「受壓迫的人」的「呼求」未蒙垂聽，可能使人以為惡行不會被他刑罰。

9.
(Ec 4:1.)
Elihu states in Job's words
(Job 24. 12; 30. 20)
the difficulty; the "cries" of "the oppressed" not being heard might lead man to think that wrongs are not punished by Him.

10-13. 但原因在於無辜的受苦者往往不謙卑地尋求神的救助；因此他們滅亡的責任當歸於他們的「驕傲」；也因為（伯35:13-16）他們像約伯一樣，不願在敬虔的信靠中等候神的時間，當神的公義不是立即顯明時，就傾向於對神的公義絕望（伯33:19-26）。
受苦者若以謙卑、悔改的靈轉向神，他必垂聽。
在哪裡——云云——（耶2:6、8；賽51:13）。
詩歌——為拯救而喜樂之歌（詩42:8；149:5；徒16:25）。
在夜間——出人意外地（伯34:20、25）。更當譯作：「在患難中。」
英語原文
10-13. But the reason is that the innocent sufferers often do not humbly seek God for succor; so to their "pride" is to be laid the blame of their ruin; also because
(Job 35:13-16)
they, as Job, instead of waiting God's time in pious trust, are prone to despair of His justice, when it is not immediately visible
(Job 33:19-26).
If the sufferer would apply to God with a humbled, penitent spirit, He would hear.
Where, &c.--
(Jer 2:6, 8; Isa 51:13).
songs--of joy at deliverance
(Ps 42:8; 149:5; Ac 16:25).
in the night--unexpectedly
(Job 34:20, 25).
Rather, "in calamity."

11. 人的靈使他有別於走獸，這是神恩慈最有力的證明；藉著運用它，我們可以明白神是所有謙卑尋求他之受苦者的全能幫助者；而不如此尋求他的人是錯了。
飛鳥——（見伯28:21註釋）。
英語原文
11. Man's spirit, which distinguishes him from the brute, is the strongest proof of God's beneficence; by the use of it we may understand that God is the Almighty helper of all sufferers who humbly seek Him; and that they err who do not so seek Him.

12. 在那裏——更當譯作「那時」（當無人謙卑投靠神之時，伯35:10）。
他們是驕傲地向神呼求，而不是謙卑地呼求神。因此，既然苦難的用意是要使受苦者謙卑，在「驕傲」讓位給謙卑悔改的禱告之前，就不可能有回答（詩10:4；耶13:17）。
英語原文
12. There--rather, "Then" (when none humbly casts himself on God,
Job 35:10).
They cry proudly against God, rather than humbly to God. So, as the design of affliction is to humble the sufferer, there can be no answer until "pride" gives place to humble, penitent prayer
(Ps 10:4; Jer 13:17).

13. 虛妄——即在不謙卑的靈中所發出的呼求（伯35:12），這在一定程度上適用於約伯的呼求；更適用於惡人的呼求（伯27:9；箴15:29）。
英語原文
13. vanity--that is, cries uttered in an unhumbled spirit,
Job 35:12,
which applies in some degree to Job's cries; still more to those of the wicked
(Job 27:9; Pr 15:29).

14. 雖然你說你不得見他——（即不得見今世的拯救者；因為他的確盼望死後有一位救贖主，
伯19:25-27；
這段經文既與以利戶在此的斷言相符，就不能解作「看見」今世的「救贖主」），
伯7:7；9:11；23:3、8、9；
然而審判……；所以你要信靠……。但希伯來文較支持毛雷爾（MAURER）的譯法：「何況（神……也不理會，
伯35:13），
既然你說，祂並不理會你。」照樣在
伯4:19
也是如此。這樣以利戶就是暗指約伯的話
（伯19:7；30:20）。
判斷——即你的案件、你的權利，如
詩9:16；箴31:5、8
所言。
信靠——較宜作「你要等候」祂，忍耐地，直到祂為你申冤
（詩37:7）。
英語原文
14. Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him--(as a temporal deliverer; for he did look for a Redeemer after death,
Job 19:25-27;
which passage cannot consistently with Elihu's assertion here be interpreted of "seeing" a temporal "redeemer"),
Job 7:7; 9:11; 23:3, 8, 9;
yet, judgment . . . ; therefore trust . . . But the Hebrew favors MAURER, "How much less (will God . . . regard,
Job 35:13),
since thou sayest, that He does not regard thee." So in
Job 4:19.
Thus Elihu alludes to Job's words
(Job 19:7; 30:20).
judgment--that is, thy cause, thy right; as in
Ps 9:16; Pr 31:5, 8.
trust--rather, "wait thou" on Him, patiently, until He take up thy cause
(Ps 37:7).

15. 如今既因約伯不憑信忍耐等候
（伯35:14；民20:12；番3:2；彌7:9），
神已經察罰……卻仍未嚴厲地理會那極多（英文譯本誤作「極處」）的罪；所以約伯不當抱怨受罰過於嚴厲
（伯7:20；11:6）。
毛雷爾（MAURER）譯作：「因為祂的怒氣並未察罰（並未立即因約伯不敬的怨言而刑罰他），也未曾嚴格（大大）理會他的愚妄（罪惡的言論）；所以」等等。至於「愚妄」，翁佈雷特（UMBREIT）隨拉比們譯作「眾多」。格世尼斯（GESENIUS）不必要地隨七十士譯本與武加大譯本讀作「過犯」。
英語原文
15. As it is, because Job waited not trustingly and patiently
(Job 35:14; Nu 20:12; Zep 3:2; Mic 7:9),
God hath visited . . . ; yet still he has not taken (severe) cognizance of the great multitude (English Version wrongly, "extremity") of sins; therefore Job should not complain of being punished with undue severity
(Job 7:20; 11:6).
MAURER translates: "Because His anger hath not visited (hath not immediately punished Job for his impious complaints), nor has He taken strict (great) cognizance of his folly (sinful speeches); therefore," &c. For "folly," UMBREIT translates with the Rabbins, "multitude." GESENIUS reads with the Septuagint and Vulgate needlessly, "transgression."
