Elihu Condemns Job – Job 35
- By assessing the many complaints Job has made, Elihu exaggerates Job's question about what benefit has he received for being good. He goes on to imply that Job's prayers have not been answered because of his pride.
Elihu Extols God's Greatness – Job 36
- Elihu states his belief: that God is mighty and just in his dealing with humans, and that Job is wrong in believing that the wicked are not punished by God. He also counters Job's other complaints about God. He encourages Job not to reject God's message by failing to cry out to Him for help, and asserts that God means to teach Job something through his affliction.
Elihu Proclaims God's Majesty – Job 37
- Elihu appeals to Job and his friends, as well as anyone else who may be listening, and speaks of the power and might of God, who controls the weather and everything else in the world. He finishes by giving praise to God who is elusive, meaning we cannot find Him, yet merciful.
