Injustice is incompatible with rule. How does Job condemn God, before
whom even kings and princes are vile, and who regards rich and poor
alike? He sees the oppressor and suddenly destroys him.

THE ALMIGHTY MUST BE JUST
Job 34:1
Elihu stands in Job 34:10 as God's apologist. God's absolute and

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
