Work chapter 32

1. Then why don't these three people answer him any more? At that time, people were angry with Job. What's going on here? Who is he angry with? Why? 1/3

(1) Because Job thinks he is righteous, he won't answer him any more.

(2) Elihu, the son of Barachiah the Businessman, was angry with Job.

(3) Because Job thinks he is righteous and doesn't take God as righteousness.

He was angry with job's three friends again.

Because they couldn't think of an answer, they still condemned Job.

Elihu asked Job why he was waiting for them. Why is Elihu angry? 4/5

Because they are older than themselves.

(2) Elihu was angry when he saw that there was nothing to answer between the three men.

Elihu answered and said, Why did he give in? What does he think of the elderly? But people have a spirit. Who makes him smart? He said, what about the distinguished and the elderly? So what's he going to do? 6/ 10

I am young and you are old, so I give in.

Old people should speak first, and they should teach others with wisdom.

The spirit of the Almighty makes people wise.

All noble people are unwise, and all those who live long cannot understand justice.

So, I said, you have to listen to me, and I'll tell you my opinion.

4. What did Elihu ask them to investigate? How did he listen to them? He listened carefully to their words, what problems did he find? What do they think is the wisdom they have found? Elihu said, "If Job didn't argue with him, how would he answer him?"? 1 1/ 14

Find out what to say.

Listen to your debate and pay attention to you.

Who knows that none of you persuaded Job to refute his words?

God can overcome him, but man can't.

Job didn't argue with me, and I don't have to answer him in your words.

5. Why didn't Elihu wait? What is he going to do, too Why does he want to talk? What would he do if he wanted to talk? What happens when he speaks? 15/22

They stopped answering and said nothing.

(2) I have to answer my words, Chen said my opinion.

Because my words are full, the spirit inside me stirs me up. My chest is like a wine bag, with no seams to vent, and it is like a new leather bag that is about to burst.

(4) I want to talk, which makes me comfortable.

I want to answer. I will not respect others, nor will I flatter others. I don't know how to flatter. If I flatter, my maker will quickly destroy me.

(2) Application

Why did Elihu talk to Job?

(1) Because Job is self-righteous and does not take God as righteousness.

(2) Because Job's three friends couldn't figure out the answer.

(3) Because not all noble people are wise, and not all people who live long understand justice.

(4) Because Elihu's words were fulfilled, the spirit inside was stirred up.
