Job 32:1-34:37

A fourth friend of Job now speaks up. Elihu had waited for his elders to speak, but he was now angered at both Job’s refusal to admit he had sinned and the three other friends inability to answer Job’s argument. Elihu believes that God is constantly interacting with people on earth; he believes that God is punishing, blessing, warning, causing illness, and bringing about healing. Therefore, Elihu concludes, we can know a persons standing before God by their condition on earth.

Elihu then asks, “Has there ever been a man as arrogant as Job, with his thirst for irreverent talk? He seeks the companionship of evil people. He spends his time with wicked men. He has even said, ‘Why waste time trying to please God?’” Elihu assumes that since Job is suffering he must be sinning, and so Job needs to ask God what sin he has committed.
