- He is also angry at the three individuals because they have failed to refute Job and have condemned him !

- Through chapter 32, Elihu explains why he is going to speak !

- Through chapter 33, Elihu asks Job to listen to him !

- He speaks about his uprightness of his heart !

- Job 33:9 : Elihu says he keeps hearing Job saying he is pure, without transgression, he is clean with no iniquity , God finds occasions against him, he counts Job as his enemy, he says Job complains against God because he doesn’t answer him !

- He adds that God answers through man’s dreams !

- In Job 33:19, man is punished or reproved with pain and constant distress so he can’t even eat and is about to die and finally God saves him from death !

- In Job 33:27, then man will declare he has sinned !

- And so on !

- Elihu repeats what the three other individuals have just said !

- Elihu says that Job has sinned against God !

- Job 34 : 35-37

New International Version
Job speaks without knowledge; his words lack insight.’
Oh, that Job might be tested to the utmost for answering like a wicked man!
To his sin he adds rebellion; scornfully he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God.”

- Then in Job 38, God answers Job !

- Job never speaks to Elihu !

- God only answers Job !

- Have you really read the book of Job ?

Job 6:8-10

…
Biblehub Job 6:10

- RESPECT! INCREDIBLE WORDS! UNBELIEVABLE!

- How is it possible? Job is in such a bad situation and he asks God for the favor to die: “I WOULD LEAP FOR JOY DESPITE THE UNRELENTING PAIN.”

- Do you notice like me what Job says right now?

“FOR I HAVE NOT DENIED THE SAYINGS OF THE HOLY ONE.”

- IS THAT CLEAR AGAIN? FOR ME IT IS!

- Job wants to die, he doesn’t speak about committing suicide, he begs God to make him die like a favor, just to be in peace, in rest. Think about the last line:

FOR I HAVE NOT DENIED THE SAYINGS OF THE HOLY ONE

- Can you hear the chorus:

THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM ON EARTH

THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM ON EARTH

THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM ON EARTH

- Job is true to his faith in God!

- A dialogue is interesting when it is constructive, when it helps you to go ahead, to push you, to analyze a situation, to visualize different perspectives!

- And Job has the experience to go in this direction but the people who have come to him are unable to be constructive, they are just condemning him!​

- So it goes nowhere except when we listen to Job because again he has the experience!

[eddif]

The book of Job has a lot of information that other books only brush up against.
However
It takes the rest of the whole old and new testaments,the words of Jesus, the leading of the Holy Spirit to understand.

Now these comments may seem secular, and some may be. Job is a book that does exactly that (contrasts secular thoughts with Gods truth.

Looking for Job:
Through a spotting scope
Through a telescope
Through a microscope
Through God’s eyes
Through blindspot eyes
Through ego eyes
Through personal arrogance eyes
Through angry eyes
Through what I believe eyes
Through hearing without seeing

Job finally knew what the prophets describe.
Matthew 13:17 kjv
17. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

1 Peter 1:10 kjv
10. Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should comeunto you:

Job had God show and explain true creation nature.
On that’s subject we might look at Elihu.
Did God mention Elihu?
Job 38:1 kjv
1. Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
2. Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
Matthew 13:10 kjv
10. And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11. He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

God was ignoring the chapters long whirlwind speech of (IMHO) Elihu, but God was explaining the truth to Job.

Don’t believe eddif but search,ask questions.
