Commentary on Job 34:6

Theological / Devotional

Should I lie? In this verse Elihu continues to quote Job as saying, “In spite of my righteous life, I am held to be a liar when I defend myself. I suffer punishment as an evildoer, though I am free from transgression.”

Wound. Literally, “arrow.” Metaphorical for the wound inflicted by God’s arrow.

God has inflicted a mortal wound, yet Job is not aware of any transgression on his part.
