• Job 32:2-3
  Then the wrath of Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was aroused against Job; his wrath was aroused because he justified himself rather than God. Also against his three friends his wrath was aroused, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
   
• Job 32:6-8
  So Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, answered and said:
  “I am young in years, and you are very old;
  Therefore I was afraid,
  And dared not declare my opinion to you. I said, ‘Age should speak,
  And multitude of years should teach wisdom.’ But there is a spirit in man,
  And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
   
• Job 33:8-14
  “Surely you have spoken in my hearing,
  And I have heard the sound of your words, saying, ‘I am pure, without transgression;
  I am innocent, and there is no iniquity in me. Yet He finds occasions against me,
  He counts me as His enemy; He puts my feet in the stocks,
  He watches all my paths.’ “Look, in this you are not righteous.
  I will answer you,
  For God is greater than man. Why do you contend with Him?
  For He does not give an accounting of any of His words. For God may speak in one way, or in another,
  Yet man does not perceive it.
   
• Job 33:19-30
  “Man is also chastened with pain on his bed,
  And with strong pain in many of his bones, So that his life abhors bread,
  And his soul succulent food. His flesh wastes away from sight,
  And his bones stick out which once were not seen. Yes, his soul draws near the Pit,
  And his life to the executioners. “If there is a messenger for him,
  A mediator, one among a thousand,
  To show man His uprightness, Then He is gracious to him, and says,
  ‘ Deliver him from going down to the Pit;
  I have found a ransom’; His flesh shall be young like a child’s,
  He shall return to the days of his youth. He shall pray to God, and He will delight in him,
  He shall see His face with joy,
  For He restores to man His righteousness. Then he looks at men and says,
  ‘I have sinned, and perverted what was right,
  And it did not profit me.’ He will redeem his soul from going down to the Pit,
  And his life shall see the light. “ Behold, God works all these things,
  Twice, in fact, three times with a man, To bring back his soul from the Pit,
  That he may be enlightened with the light of life.
   
• Job 33:6
  Truly I am as your spokesman before God;
  I also have been formed out of clay.
   
• Job 34:33
  Should He repay it according to your terms,
  Just because you disavow it?
  You must choose, and not I;
  Therefore speak what you know.
   
• Job 35:8
  Your wickedness affects a man such as you,
  And your righteousness a son of man.
   
• Job 37:13-14
  He causes it to come,
  Whether for correction,
  Or for His land,
  Or for mercy. “Listen to this, O Job;
  Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God.
