Elihu offers himself instead of God to reason with Job8. He excuses God from giving man an account of his ways, by his greatness 14. God calls man to repentance by visions, by afflictions, and by his ministry 31. He incites Job to attention to turn a man from wrongdoing This phrase highlights God's intention to guide humanity away from sin. In the context of the Book of Job, Elihu is speaking about how God communicates with people, often through dreams or visions, to correct their paths. The concept of turning from wrongdoing is a recurring theme in the Bible, emphasizing repentance and transformation. In the Old Testament, prophets frequently called Israel to turn from their sins (e.g., Isaiah 1:16-17, Jeremiah 25:5). The New Testament continues this theme with John the Baptist and Jesus calling for repentance (Matthew 3:2, Mark 1:15). The idea is that God actively seeks to redirect individuals from a path of sin to one of righteousness, aligning with His holy nature. and keep him from pride Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points God's Preventive GraceGod actively works to prevent us from falling into sin and pride. His interventions, though sometimes mysterious, are acts of grace meant to protect us. The Danger of Pride Pride is a significant spiritual danger that can lead to a fall. Recognizing and addressing pride in our lives is crucial for spiritual growth. Divine Communication God communicates with us in various ways, including through scripture, prayer, and sometimes through dreams or visions. Being attentive to His voice is essential. The Purpose of Suffering Suffering can be a tool used by God to refine us and turn us away from sin. Understanding this can help us endure trials with faith and patience. Humility and Repentance Embracing humility and seeking repentance are vital responses to God's corrective guidance. These attitudes align us with His will and purpose.(17) From his purpose.--Rather, That He may witharaw man from carrying out his evil actions, and may remove that pride from man which he secretly cherishes. This is the main point of Elihu's teaching: that the purposes of God are disciplinary, to keep man from the sin which otherwise he would be prone to commit. In this way Job might have been a righteous man, and yet be justly chastened lest he should prove unrighteous.Verse 17. - That he (i.e. God) may withdraw man from his purpose; literally, from his work, assumed to be a wrongful work. Elihu regards the Divine teaching through visions as intended to elevate and purify men. Sometimes God so works upon them as to make them abandon an evil course on which they had entered. Sometimes his object is to save them from indulgence in an evil temper into which, without his help, they might have fallen. In this latter case he may occasionally hide pride from man. Elihu, perhaps, thinks that Job is unduly proud of his integrity. Parallel Commentaries ...
