Job 34 General Notes

Structure and formatting

According to Elihu, instead of being punished for his sins, Job is sinning in the midst of these difficulties. This is the second of Elihu's four statements and it is addressed first to Job's friends and then to Job. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/witness)

The ULB indents the lines of this chapter because it is a poem. Elihu uses many of Job's statements against him. His attitude is not too different from Job's friends.

Special concepts in this chapter

Yahweh's justice

Elihu defends the justice of Yahweh after Job claimed that Yahweh was being unjust. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/justice and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/unjust)
