John Trapp on Job 35:3

Verſe 3. For thou ſaidſt, What advantage will it be unto thee?] Here he indeavours to prove the charge, grounding upon ſome words of Jobs, as chap. 9.22. and 10.15. which ſeem to hold out thus much, that no good was to be gotten by leaving evil wayes, ſith good men and bad ſuffer and periſh together. But we muſt know, that Job herein reaſoned not of thoſe things that fall out after death, but only of the proſperous or unhappy eſtate of this life preſent; denying, and that rightly, that we are hereby to judge of Gods love or hatred, or of any mans honeſt or diſhoneſt converſation; Neither yet did he ſtand in defence of his own righteouſneſs againſt God, but only appealed to God as a moſt wiſe and juſt Judge, againſt the falſe accuſations of his fo-friends, who by powring oyle into the fire, as it were, very much vexed and diſquieted him all along.

Or what profit ſhall I have if I be cleanſed from my ſin?] Or, What profit ſhall I have by it more then by my ſin? This, if Elihu could have proved that Job had ſaid, he might very well have juſtified what he had wiſhed to him, and affirmed of him in the two laſt verſes of the precedent Chapter.
