Job’s pain is so deep that after a week of wordlessness, he cries out. Eliphaz believes suffering comes to those who deserve it because God knows things that the rest of us
don’t. How do you respond to Eliphaz’ correction if you are Job?

The Young Man Elihu
October 27, 2019 • John Morrison • Job 32—37
Elihu has waited patiently while the older friends have said their peace, but he cannot sit by another minute and listen to their advice or interpretation of this tragedy. Elihu wants them all to hear what he has to say. He thinks that they have all been wrong. As you study, notice what observations he repeats and what is a new information. Does he have the right take on the situation? Or have they ALL "missed the boat?"
