Job 34:16–30, “If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words. Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just? Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly? How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands. In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand. For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God. He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead. Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed. He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others; Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways: So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted. When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only: That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.”
Elihu continued to insist that everyone listen to his wisdom. He told them to listen to what he had to say. He said that only good people would become rulers and no one should condemn a just ruler. He implied, correctly, that God is good and God rules everything. However, he tried to imply that Job was wrong by claiming to be innocent because Job was saying that God was bad. This was wrong, as readers of the entire book will know. He said that God will call people to account and, one day, everyone will die. God won’t need to call for witnesses to a person’s behaviour because God already knows everything. Bad people will never reign because God is good. Some of Elihu’s information was right but his conclusions were wrong. If people reject God then they will suffer the consequences of rejecting God and evil will triumph on the earth. God is just and consistent so He gives people what they choose. However, God is gracious and lets us have many chances to leave our sinful ways and come back to Him.
