I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Job 35, Elihu continued to chide Job. In verse 10 he said that men (like Job) ignore God even though God is the one who "gives songs in the night." Elihu continued his criticism of Job for making accusations against God. Elihu accused Job of saying that his righteousness was more than God's and of saying that it was of no profit to be cleansed from his sin (1-3). To counter such a notion, Elihu said that Job's sin did not hurt God; nor did his righteousness profit God. These things may hurt or profit men, but not God (4-8). Expanding on these ideas, Elihu describes how oppressors and the oppressed interact with each other. The oppressed cry out, but they do not turn to God their maker who gives songs in the night because they are too proud. Therefore they do not turn to him even though he could give them wisdom which surpasses that which they might find from nature -- wisdom such as beasts or birds possess (9-12). Moreover, God does not hear Job because Job speaks vain things; and God does not hear vanity (verses 13 & 16). Also, Job complained that he could not see God; but judgment precedes God (like a herald) and reveals him -- the implication being that Job could see and understand God if he acquiesced to God's judgment instead of despising it (14). Moreover, as an additional incentive to acquiesce to God's judgment, Elihu pointed out that when God judges in anger it is less than men deserve (15). These are the reasons that Job's accusations against God were empty and without knowledge (16). [ Sermons: Joseph Pipa.

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

(You have been of no help.
God has denied me justice.
May my enemies be like the wicked who perish suddenly.
Man does not understand wisdom.
I long for my past blessings, but mockers surround me.
I have obeyed God.) 2. The Monologue of Elihu (Job 32:1 - Job 37:24)
God alone is just.
Your sins do not hurt him, and your righteousness does not profit him.
You have no right to demand a trial before God. God is beyond our reach and exalted in power.
