Iyov 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.

Iyov 34:1 In-Context

1 4 Furthermore Elihu answered and said,

2 Hear my words, O ye chachamim; and give ear unto me, ye that have da’as.

3 For the ozen trieth words, as the mouth tasteth food.

4 Let us choose for ourselves what is mishpat (right); let us know among ourselves what is tov.

5 For Iyov hath said, I am innocent; and El hath taken away my mishpat (right).
