John Trapp on Job 35:7

Verſe 7. If thou be righteous, what giveſt thou him?] Nothing, ſith he is ſelf-ſufficient, and independent. He needeth us not, neither doth our righteouſneſſe reach him, Pſal. 16.2. The Phariſees dreamt of an over-doing the Law, and making God beholding to them. The Papiſts alſo, thoſe modern Phariſees, talk of works of ſuper-erogation, and of merit of congruity and merit of condignity. But theſe are mere fictions, Chimaera's, abſurd Doctrines, ſuch as Elihu never heard of. He that doth righteouſneſs is righteous, 1 John 3.7. but he addeth nothing thereby to God, let him do his utmoſt. Indeed whoſo offereth praiſe, glorifieth God, Pſal. 50.23. ſo he is pleaſed to account it, and call it: but his glory is as himſelf is, eternal, infinite, immenſe. The Sun would ſhine in its own brightneſſe, though all the world were blind, and ſhould wilfully wink: ſo here. God accepts not our perſents, but to returne them us back with intereſt, as the raine aſcends in thinne vapours, but comes downe againe in thick ſhowres.

Or what receiveth he of thine hand?] If any thing, it is of his own, as David thankfully acknowledgeth, 1 Chron. 29.14. and beſides that, our ſweeteſt Incenſe ſmelleth ſtrong of the hand that offereth it.
