Job 35 — Tyndale Study Notes

Job.35.4-8

Elihu attempted to answer his own question (35:2), but his answer did not add to what Zophar (11:8-9), Eliphaz (22:12), Bildad (25:5-6), and Job (9:8-10) had already said. Elihu failed to recognize that all sin wrongs God (Gen 39:9; Matt 25:41-46; cp. Prov 19:17).

Job.35.15-16

Elihu echoed and then rejected Job’s words (9:24; 12:6-10; 21:7-15, 17).

Job.35.16

Elihu echoed his earlier accusation (34:35); later, God would agree (38:2).
