Editor's Note: I will attempt to summarize some of the themes and statements made by Job and his visitors. My observations are by no means the final word on this; please feel free to weigh in and give your thoughts on what's going on
Job 32
Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar give up the debate
Elihu wants his turn to speak
...he says the other three did not refute Job
...but he will.
Job 33
(Elihu continues)
..."I heard what you said, Job - but you're wrong about the Almighty"
...the Mighty One will speak to us, and then give us frightful dreams to inspire & direct us
...He uses physical ailments to bring about change in us or our plans
...God uses many means to bring us back in live with him.
Job 34
...Job says, "I am right, but the Almighty is denying me justice"
...but he does not act wickedly or pervert justice.
...mankind continues to exist because he wills it to be so
...if you wouldn't disrespect a ruler, surely you should hold your peace before God
"Must his rewards meet your approval?"
