Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

16. In Job 34:2, Elihu had spoken to all in general, now he calls Job's special attention.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

34:16-30 Elihu appeals directly to Job himself. Could he suppose that God was like those earthly princes, who hate right, who are unfit to rule, and prove the scourges of mankind? It is daring presumption to condemn God's proceedings, as Job had done by his discontents. Elihu suggests divers considerations to Job, to produce in him high thoughts of God, and so to persuade him to submit. Job had often wished to plead his cause before God. Elihu asks, To what purpose? All is well that God does, and will be found so. What can make those uneasy, whose souls dwell at ease in God? The smiles of all the world cannot quiet those on whom God frowns.


Job 34:15 All flesh would perish together, And man would return to dust.
Job 34:17 "Shall one who hates justice rule? And will you condemn the righteous mighty One, (NASB ©1995)
