Job 34:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 34:1

Furthermore Elihu answered and said.
] It is reasonable to suppose that Elihu made a considerable pause, to see whether Job would make any reply to what he had delivered, or object to what he had said; which he gave him free liberty to do, if he had anything upon his mind: but perceiving he was not inclined to return any answer to him, he went on with his discourse; and which is called a further answer to him: for though Joh had made no reply to which this could be called an answer, yet as there were several things remaining for Elihu to answer to, and which he proposed to answer and did, it may with great propriety here be said that he answered him.

Job 34:1 In-Context

1 And so Elihu pronounced, and spake also these things, (and said,)

2 Wise men, hear ye my words, and learned men, harken ye (to) me;

3 for the ear proveth words, and the throat deemeth meat by taste (and the tongue judgeth food by taste).

4 Choose we doom to us (Let us use judgement); and see we among us, what is the better.

5 For Job said, I am just, and God hath turned my justness upside-down. (For Job said, I am innocent, but God hath turned my justice, or my sentence, upside-down.)
