Elihu shows how God is just in his ways16. How Job's sins hinder God's blessings 24. God's works are to be magnified The godless in heart harbor resentment; This phrase highlights the condition of the heart, which is central to biblical teaching. The "godless" refers to those who live without regard for God, often characterized by a hardened heart. In biblical context, the heart is the seat of emotions and will, and a godless heart is one that is resistant to divine influence. Resentment here can be seen as a refusal to accept God's sovereignty and justice, similar to the attitude of the Israelites in the wilderness (Numbers 14:2-4). This resentment can lead to a cycle of bitterness and rebellion against God, as seen in the lives of figures like Cain (Genesis 4:5-8). even when He binds them, they do not cry for help.

Teaching Points The Danger of ResentmentResentment can harden the heart against God, preventing individuals from seeking His help and guidance. It's crucial to guard against bitterness and maintain a heart open to God's correction and love. The Importance of Crying Out to God Even in times of binding or affliction, turning to God in prayer and seeking His help is vital. A humble heart that cries out to God can find grace and mercy in times of need. Understanding God's Discipline God's binding or discipline is not meant to harm but to correct and guide us back to Him. Recognizing His loving intentions can transform our response to suffering. The Role of the Heart in Spiritual Life The heart's condition is central to one's relationship with God. A godless heart leads to spiritual stagnation, while a heart aligned with God leads to growth and peace. The Consequences of Ignoring God Ignoring God in times of trouble can lead to further spiritual decline. Seeking God should be our first response, not our last resort. Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Job 36What does the Bible say about disbelief in God? How do we reconcile Zophar's rigid cause-and-effect theology in Job 20 with other biblical passages (like Psalm 73) that acknowledge the prosperity of the wicked without immediate judgment?

Verse 13. - But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath. In his vindication of God's justice, Elihu here passes from the case of the righteous (ver. 7) to that of the "hypocrites," or rather the ungodly. They, he says, "heap up wrath," i.e. "treasure up to themselves wrath against the day of wrath" (Romans 2:5), continually intensify God's anger against them, and, as it were, lay in a store of it, which will one day be outpoured upon them. They cry not when he bindeth them. They do not cry to him, they do not deprecate his anger, when they first find themselves bound with the "cords of affliction" (ver. 8), but allow his wrath to increase and accumulate.Parallel Commentaries ...
