what doest--how canst thou affect Him?
unto him--that can hurt Him? (Jer 7:19; Pro 8:36). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? - This should not be interpreted as designed to justify sin, or as saying that there is no evil in it, or that God does not regard it. That is not the point or scope of the remark of Elihu. His object is to show that God is not influenced in his treatment of his creatures as people are in their treatment of each other. He has no "interest" in being partial, or in treating them otherwise than they deserve. If they sin against him his happiness is not so marred that he is under any inducement to interpose "by passion," or in any other way than that which is "right." |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| If thou sinnest - God is not benefited by thy righteousness, nor injured by thy iniquity, howsoever multiplied it may be. |
36 But he that sinneth [02398] against me wrongeth [02554] his own soul [05315]: all they that hate [08130] me love [0157] death [04194].
19 Do they provoke me to anger [03707]? saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion [01322] of their own faces [06440]?
