Jobs 34 - God’s Perfect Justice: Elihu’s Defense of the Almighty


Listen Later

In this episode of Practical Advice from the Scriptures, we turn to Job Chapter 34, where Elihu responds to Job with one of the most forceful defenses of God’s character in the entire book. Elihu reminds Job—and us—that the Lord is incapable of injustice and judges all people with complete fairness, no matter their rank or wealth.

This chapter reveals timeless wisdom:

  • God’s justice is woven into His very nature—He cannot do wrong.
  • Every person is accountable before God, from the mighty to the lowly.
