The first part of the speech (36:1-21) continues the debate from previous sessions. It reviews the fates of the righteous and the wicked. The second part (36:22-37:13) praises the greatness of the Creator. His power, wisdom, and knowledge surpass our ability to understand (36:26). Elihu emphasizes the divine gift of rain (36:27-37:13): Does Job consider the wondrous works of God? (37:14). Elihu asks Job a series of questions, to which Job consistently answers “No” (37:15-21). No matter how wise we are, we can never call God to account. All we can do is “fear”—worship and revere—God, and this is the beginning of wisdom (28:28). Elihu is a supporting character, a transitional figure. His earlier remarks address Job and his friends’ discussions; now he shifts focus more on God, ending with a description of the storm and a series of questions meant to humble Job. The Lord will speak from the storm with a list of similar questions.
