Job 35

Elihu answers Job’s questions about the value of righteousness by stressing God’s transcendence: human wickedness does not injure God as it injures other people, and human righteousness does not enrich Him. He also says oppressed people may cry out without truly seeking the Maker who gives songs in the night.
