Description

In this chapter, Elihu continues his discourse, addressing Job and his friends. He begins by calling for attention to his words, asserting that he is speaking on behalf of God and not out of human bias. Elihu challenges Job's claim of righteousness and his contention with God. He argues that God is mighty but does not despise anyone; He is just and does not pervert justice.

Elihu explains that if a man truly desires to understand God, he must recognize that God does not need to give an account of His actions. He points out that God is the supreme governor who punishes the wicked and rewards the righteous. He refutes Job's claim that he has been wronged by God without cause, stating that God would not act wickedly.

Elihu then poses a series of rhetorical questions to emphasize God's justice and omnipotence:


  • Does Job think he can be more just than God?
  • Should God recompense according to Job's view?
  • Does Job have the right to choose how God should govern?

He concludes by stating that those who rebel against God will face consequences, whereas those who obey Him will prosper. Elihu's speech aims to correct what he perceives as Job's misguided views about divine justice and retribution, emphasizing God's fairness and the need for humility in human judgment of divine actions.
