—Job 37:14-24
by: Dale E. Rood.
Elihu is finishing his discourse here. Even in the wisdom the“comforters” utter, there is truth. Elihu doesn’t try to answer Job’s grieving. He doesn’t give explanations in behalf of God the way the other three do. He just declares God’s awesome might. To this, Job has no answer. Job is effectively shut up, but he still has no idea how to deal with his losses and his suffering. The stage is set for God himself to make an appearance. When that happens, Job will understand how to deal with his situation, and can begin to heal.
