Job 34:1

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"Moreover Elihu answered and said," — Job 34:1 (ASV)

Furthermore Elihu. —Elihu here hardly lives up to the profession with which he starts, for he immediately begins to accuse Job in no measured language. Elihu makes, indeed, a great profession of wisdom, and expressly addresses himself to the wise (Job 34:2), and insists on the necessity of discernment (Job 34:3–4). It should be noted that Job himself had expressed much the same sentiment in Job 12:11.
