Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 4. I will answer thee ] I will show thee the evil of a sinful way, and the benefit of righteousness; and supply what thy friends have omitted in their discourses with thee.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - Elihu reproves Job for justifying himself more than God, and called his attention to the heavens. They are far above us, and God is far abov them; how much then is he out of the reach, either of our sins or of our services! We have no reason to complain if we have not what we expect, but should be thankful that we have better than we deserve.
