Commentaries on Job 36:1

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1Elihu also proceeded - Mr. Heath gives a good summary of this chapter. Elihu goes on to lay before Job the impropriety of his behavior towards God, and desires him to consider how vain it will prove. That God Almighty will never yield the point; that he will administer impartial justice to all men, Job 36:2-6. That the general course of his providence is to favor the righteous: and that though he may sometimes correct them in love, yet if they submit…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1Elihu also proceeded - Hebrew added - ויסף vayâsaph Vulgate “addens;” Septuagint, ̀ Eerostheis - “adding, or proceeding.” The Hebrew commentators remark that this word is used because this speech is “added” to the number which it might be supposed he would make.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-33Job 36:1-33. 1-2. Elihu maintains that afflictions are to the godly disciplinary, in order to lead them to attain a higher moral worth, and that the reason for their continuance is not, as the friends asserted, on account of the sufferer's extraordinary guilt, but because the discipline has not yet attained its object, namely, to lend him to humble himself penitently before God (Is 9:13; Jr 5:3). This is Elihu's fourth speech. He thus exceeds the ternary…Read the comment
