Description

Elihu begins by asking Job to listen to him, as he speaks on behalf of God, not out of human bias or flattery. He asserts that he will speak without fear, choosing his words carefully.

Elihu then explains that God speaks in various ways but often people do not perceive it. He talks about how God might use dreams and visions at night to open the ears of men and seal their instruction, turning them from wrongdoing.

He describes scenarios where God might use pain and suffering to get someone's attention, suggesting that if there is an angel or a mediator to explain God's work, then the person can be redeemed from going down to the pit, and his life can see the light.

Elihu insists that God does all these things twice, even three times, with a man to bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of life. He then turns directly to Job, saying that Job should listen because Elihu is speaking for God, not accusing Job with words beyond what he has done.

Elihu challenges Job's claim of innocence, suggesting that Job's affliction might be a form of divine communication or discipline, aimed at turning him from his path and covering his pride. Elihu concludes by urging Job to consider if he has sinned in any way and to be ready to face God without contention, acknowledging that God is greater than humans and does not answer according to their ways.
