Commentary on Job 33:14

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.

Commentary on Job 33:14

Theological / Devotional

Once. God has more than one way of speaking to man, but man does not always recognize God’s voice. Job requested an answer from God (chs. 10:2; 13:22; 23:5). Elihu maintains that God is speaking to Job in various ways, which he explains in the verses to follow.
