Contextual Overview

1 Furthermore Elihu responded, and said: - 2 Hear, ye wise men, my words, and, ye who know, give ear unto me; 3 For, the ear, trieth words, as, the palate, tasteth in eating. 4 What is right, let us choose for ourselves, Let us know, among ourselves, what is good; 5 For Job hath said - I am righteous, But, GOD, hath turned away my right; 6 Concerning mine own right, shall I tell a falsehood? Incurable is my disease - not for any transgression. 7 What man is like Job? He drinketh in scoffing like water; 8 And is on the way to keep company, with the workers of iniquity, and to walk with lawless men. 9 For he hath said, It profiteth not a man, when, his good pleasure, is with God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Furthermore, Elihu answered and said - That is, evidently, after a pause to see if Job had anything to reply. The word answered in the Scriptures often means “to begin a discourse,” though nothing had been said by others; see Job 3:2; Isaiah 14:10; Zechariah 1:10; Zechariah 3:4; Zechariah 4:11-12. Sometimes it is used with reference to a subject, meaning that one replied to what could be suggested on the opposite side. Here it maybe understood either in the general sense of beginning a discourse, or more probably as replying to the sentiments which Job had advanced in the debate with his friends.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXXIV

Elihu begins with an exhortation to Job's friends, 1-4;

charges Job with accusing God of acting unrighteously, which

he shows is impossible, 5-12;

points out the power and judgments of the Almighty, 13-30;

shows how men should address God, and how irreverently Job has

acted, 31-37.
