Job 34

Summary: Elihu continues his speeches against Job. He builds God up as a righteous and impartial ruler. Elihu then accuses Job of denying God those attributes (i.e. Job thinks God is unrighteous and unfair).

Response: I'm... not sure I like Elihu? Not just because he can't seem to shut up, but because he's not being very friendly. Reading ahead, this is apparently "correct" enough that he doesn't get rebuked for what he's saying or how he's saying it, at least not in print. How many have followed his example, rushing in late and landing heavy blows? At least the three friends sat with Job in his suffering before giving bad advice. Lord, help me to invest in lives, that I might be a gentle hand for Your kingdom and not a harsh tool of judgement.
