📚 Historical Context
This is Elihu speaking, a younger man who listened to the lengthy debate between Job and his three friends about Job's suffering. Elihu is now summarizing Job's position before offering his own perspective on Job's situation. Job had indeed maintained his innocence throughout his ordeal while questioning why God allowed such terrible things to happen to him.
