📚 Historical Context
The Book of Job tells the story of a righteous man named Job who endures severe trials and suffering as a test of his faith, allowed by God to demonstrate Job's integrity. In the narrative, after Job's three friends have offered their counsel and accused him of hidden sin, a younger man named Elihu steps forward in chapters 32-37 to speak, claiming divine insight and defending God's justice. Elihu's speeches serve as a bridge between the friends' arguments and God's direct response to Job later in the book.
