Job 34:10–15, “Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty,
t. For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways. Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world? If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.”
Elihu was convinced that he was right, so much so, that he made conclusions that didn’t follow from this original assumptions. He was right when he said that God would never be involved in any kind of sin. However, he concluded that every time a person suffered they were suffering the consequences of their own wrong. This was not correct. After Adam and Eve sinned the perfect predictability of God’s creation was replaced by a chaotic system. When Day One began there was chaos and God brought perfect order during the six days but that perfect order was destroyed by sin. The lesson was: with God there is predictable order but without God nothing is no certainty. Elihu was certain that Job was wicked and deserved to suffer. He didn’t know what had happened in heaven, in the spiritual world, so he was making conclusions that he wasn’t entitled to make. He was actually contradicting what he had said earlier. Elihu said God was innocent of all sin but, then, he concluded that God is inconsistent.
