of_ _iniquity may hide themselves_, or take refuge....

THERE IS NO DARKNESS - No dark cavern which can furnish a place of
concealment. The guilty usually take refuge in some obscure place
where people cannot detect them. But Elihu says that man has no pow...

Injustice is incompatible with rule. How does Job condemn God, before
whom even kings and princes are vile, and who regards rich and poor

THE ALMIGHTY MUST BE JUST

HIS APPEAL AS TO WISE MEN

Since Job had wisely refrained from speaking, Elihu makes an appeal to
all his hearers, as to wise men (v.2). This reminds us of1 Corinthians
