Summary
- His friend, Elihu insisted that Job is guilty and that it is unthinkable that God would do wrong – Chapter 34, vs 12.
Job 33:12-17,19
[12]But I tell you, Job, you are wrong. God is greater than any human being.
[13]Why do you accuse God of never answering our complaints?
[14]Although God speaks again and again, no one pays attention to what he says.
[15]At night when people are asleep, God speaks in dreams and visions.
[16]He makes them listen to what he says, and they are frightened at his warnings.
[17]God speaks to make them stop their sinning and to save them from becoming proud.
[19]God corrects people by sending sickness and filling their bodies with pain.
Job 34:1,3-4,10-13
1 You men are so wise, so clever; listen now to what I am saying.
[3]You know good food when you taste it, but not wise words when you hear them.
[4]It is up to us to decide the case.
[10]Listen to me, you men who understand! Will Almighty God do what is wrong?
[11]He rewards people for what they do and treats them as they deserve.
[12]Almighty God does not do evil; he is never unjust to anyone.
[13]Did God get his power from someone else? Did someone put him in charge of the world?
