Then Elihu, son of Barachel, a descendant of Buz from the family of Ram, became very angry with Job because Job thought he was more righteous than God. Job 32:2 GW
However, there is in humans a Spirit, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding. People do not become wise merely because they live long. They don’t understand what justice is merely because they’re old. Job 32:8-9 GW
I’ve opened my mouth. The words are on the tip of my tongue. My words are straight from the heart, and I sincerely speak the knowledge that is on my lips. Job 33:2-3 GW
In a dream, a prophetic vision at night, when people fall into a deep sleep, when they sleep on their beds, he opens people’s ears and terrifies them with warnings. ⌞He warns them⌟ to turn away from doing ⌞wrong⌟ and to stop being arrogant. He keeps their souls from the pit and their lives from crossing the River ⌞of Death⌟. In pain on their sickbeds, they are disciplined with endless aching in their bones so that their whole being hates food and they lose their appetite for a delicious meal. Their flesh becomes so thin that it can’t be seen. Their bones, not seen before, will be exposed. Their souls approach the pit. Their lives come close to those already dead. Job 33:15-22 GW
“You people who have understanding, listen to me. It is unthinkable that God would ever do evil or that the Almighty would ever do wicked things. God will repay humanity for what it has done and will give each person what he deserves. Certainly, God will never do anything evil, and the Almighty will never pervert justice. Job 34:10-12 GW
If he thought only of himself and withdrew his Spirit and his breath, all living beings would die together, and humanity would return to dust. Job 34:14-15 GW
The one who is righteous and mighty does not grant special favors to princes or prefer important people over poor people because his hands made them all. Job 34:19 GW
