Job 35:6
Verse 6 of 16. The 35th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.
2Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?

8Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.

10But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;

Matthew Henry on Job 35:6
But, (2.) He utterly denies that God can really be either prejudiced or advantaged by what any, even the greatest men of the earth, do, or can do. [1.] The sins of the worst sinners are no damage to him (v. 6): "If thou sinnest wilfully, and of malice prepense, against him, with a high hand, nay, if thy transgressions be multiplied, and the acts of sin be ever so often repeated, yet what doest thou against him?"
