Tyndale Open Study NotesJob 35

Elihu tried to answer his own question (35:2).

But his response did not add anything new compared to:

• Zophar (11:8–9).

• Eliphaz (22:12).

• Bildad (25:5–6).

• Job (9:8–10).

Elihu did not realize that all sin offends God (Genesis 39:9; Matthew 25:41–46; compare Proverbs 19:17).

Elihu echoed Job's words but then disagreed with them (9:24; 12:6–10; 21:7–15, 17).

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