Context of Job 36:4

2Suffer me a little, and I will show thee; For I have yet somewhat to say on God’s behalf. 3I will fetch my knowledge from afar, And will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. For truly my words are not false: One that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. 5Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: He is mighty in strength of understanding. 6He preserveth not the life of the wicked, But giveth to the afflicted their right.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 4My words shall not be false - My words shall be truth without falsity. He that is perfect in knowledge is with thee - "The perfection of knowledge is with thee." Thou art a sensible, well-informed man, and will be able to judge of what I say.Read the comment

Elihu means himself, as opposed to the dishonest reasonings of the friends (Job 21:34).Read the comment
