📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Job, which is set in the ancient Near East during the patriarchal era, Job is a devout man who faces immense suffering and engages in debates with his friends about God's justice and human righteousness. Elihu, a younger figure who has been listening to these discussions, now begins his speech to offer a fresh perspective, emphasizing divine wisdom and fairness.
