2 “Job, it is not fair for you to say, ‘I am more right than God,’
3 because you also ask him, ‘What’s the use of trying to please you? What good will it do me if I don’t sin?’
4 “Job, I want to answer you and your friends here with you.
5 Look up at the sky. Look at the clouds, which are so much higher than you.
6 If you sin, it does not hurt God. Even if your sins are too many to count, that does nothing to God.
7 And if you are good, that does not help God. He gets nothing from you.
8 Job, the good and bad things you do affect only other people like yourself.
