Commentary on Job 33:12

Theological / Devotional

God is greater. In vs. 8–11 Elihu summarizes Job’s argument. Now he challenges Job’s position. His first rebuttal statement is, “God is greater than man.” Might does not constitute right, and it is a poor way of justifying God to urge that He is all-powerful and hence may do what He pleases.
