📚 Historical Context
This is Elihu quoting Job's earlier claims of innocence during his suffering. Throughout the book, Job has maintained that he doesn't deserve the terrible losses and afflictions he's experiencing because he has lived righteously. Elihu is preparing to challenge this perspective by pointing out that no human being is truly without sin before God.
