Read in context

Job 35:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 For you ask, ‘What does it profit me, and what benefit do I gain apart from sin?’

4 I will reply to you and to your friends as well.

5 Look to the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds high above you.

6 If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? If you multiply your transgressions, what do you do to Him?

7 If you are righteous, what do you give Him, or what does He receive from your hand?
