terrified? in the middle of praising God, he praises Him all the more as a storm brews. an object lesson for those listening, consistent with what he is advising them to do. instead of complaining or seeking to assign blame, he just praises God continually.

exactly my point. angels, not nephilim.

100% consistent with the angels being who sons of God refers to both in Job 1-2 and Genesis 6

you seem to be misunderstanding what i put 3 years ago here https://christianchat.com/bookmarks/confirm?content_type=post&content_id=4806158 not saying the nephilim are the sons of God. saying that the nephilim are the product of the angels and human women - that sons of God refers to angels in...

i don't agree. i think it's clear that Elihu is referring to the words of Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar in 34:35-37, which is what 34:34 says he is doing, and that's witnessed by the next paragraph too in 35, where after saying this he immediately asks, do you think this is right? "do you think...

clearly angels.

this is just more indication that 34:35-37 is not Elihu's opinion but that, as 34:34 states, a restatement of what Bildad, Eliphaz and Zophar have said about Job. Job 34:34-37 "Men of understanding say to me, Wise men who listen to me: 'Job speaks without knowledge, His words [are] without...

what's a "stepper"?

*Job

which brings up an obvious question no one has asked: in Job 38:1 rather suddenly God speaks "out of the whirlwind" wait wut? what whirlwind? since when has there been a whirlwind? how long has the whirlwind been there? there is no mention of it approaching - has it been with Job the entire...

well Job calls them miserable comfort and God calls them wrong in what they have said. Elihu has clearly been there with Job at least the entire time his friends have, because he heard all they said. a reasonsble assumption is that he lives near Job and has known and respected him his entire...

do you think the Nephelim are assembled to present themselves to God in Job 1? no, you argue that because a character is present in an earlier chapter and not mentioned in chapter 42, it must mean they have been annihilated. well Satan and all the angels are not mentioned in chapter 42 but...

this seems to me like more of a mix of humble deference ((they are his elders)) and sarcasm - - remember he is just as angry over what their conversation has been as he is over Jobs self-justification. flattering the person he is angry with? does not make sense.

of the translations you chose, only the kj21 is close to literal. The interpretive versions are not translations at all and should be avoided altogether, they are not at all trustworthy representations of the Word but of human opinion. KJV and some of its derivatives have "let" in this verse...

Elihu's objection is that Job should be patient in his troubles and glorify God instead of complaining that he did not deserve them. not that Job has sinned, but that complaining about his adversity is not righteous. Jobs friends objection is that they believe Job deserves his troubles because...

context here - - Job 34:34-37 "Men of understanding say to me, Wise men who listen to me: 'Job speaks without knowledge, His words [are] without wisdom. Oh, that Job were tried to the utmost, Because [his] answers [are like] those of wicked men! For he adds rebellion to his sin; He claps...

so you think he flattered Job or his friends?

Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. why aren't the angels mentioned? is it logical to presume that they have all been destroyed, since they were mentioned in chapter 1 but weren't mentioned in chapter 42...

this is germane to something i tried to touch on earlier; if you look at Elihu's position in the narrative - - there are three main sections, and he is the argue between the center and the last. we begin with God and Satan disputing in the presence of the assembly of the angels. then we have...

the purple bit is a lie - the father has given him his inheritance too, per V. 12 since the younger son had left with his inheritance, literally the father has given the older son everything that he has - per V. 31 - every goat, every field, every well and every tent. instead of rebuking the...
