Job 34-37

It took me about 15 minutes to read this passage.  This is the end of Elihu’s rant at Job.  There is very little beneficial to Job in his words; only condemnation and misunderstanding of God’s justice.  Yet I wish there were sound effects with the poem. I think that while the other men spoke the winds that proceed storms were picking up.  Then as Elihu spoke the rain began to fall. In 36:27 through the end of chapter 37 Elihu repeatedly speaks about how God works in the weather and storms.  I think that there must have been a terrible thunderstorm display as Elihu spoke.  The speaker thinking God was agreeing with him, when in reality it was the approach of God ready to question Job, and rebuke his friends.
