J O B CHAP. XXXV. Job being still silent, Elihu follows his blow, and here, a third time, undertakes to show him that he had spoken amiss, and ought to recant. Three improper sayings he here charges him with, and returns answer to them distinctly:-- I. He had represented religion as an indifferent unprofitable thing, which God enjoins for his own sake, not for ours; Elihu evinces the contrary, Job 35:1-8 . II. He had complained of God as deaf to the cries of the oppressed, against which imputation Elihu here justifies God, Job 35:9-13 . III. He had despaired of the return of God's favour to him, because it was so long deferred, but Elihu shows him the true cause of the delay, Job 35:14-16 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-8" class="com-number"
