Job 34:25-35

25 For he has knowledge of their works, overturning them in the night, so that they are crushed.

26 The evil-doers are broken by his wrath, he puts his hand on them with force before the eyes of all onlookers.

27 Because they did not go after him, and took no note of his ways,

28 So that the cry of the poor might come up to him, and the prayer of those in need come to his ears.

35 Job's words do not come from knowledge; they are not the fruit of wisdom.

Job 34:25-35 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 34

In this chapter Elihu reassumes his discourse, and proceeds in his answer to Job, in which are first a preface exciting attention, Job 34:1-4; then a charge is brought against Job, expressed in or extracted from some words that dropped from his lips, not so well guarded, Job 34:5-9; a refutation of these expressions of his in a variety of arguments, Job 34:10-30; and the chapter is closed with some good advice to Job, Job 34:31-33; and with an earnest request of Elihu to men of understanding, to join with him in trying him to the uttermost, Job 34:34-37.
