- Job 35:14–35:16
Read Job 35:14 inside Job 35:14–35:16. Elihu supplies a reason through “Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him” in support of Elihu Tells Job to Wait and Calls His Words Empty. The full unit establishes: Elihu says judgment remains before God despite Job's inability to see, then concludes that Job speaks without knowledge.
Why It Needs Context
Elihu supplies a reason through “Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him” in support of Elihu Tells Job to Wait and Calls His Words Empty. Its force depends on the complete movement and outcome of Job 35:14–35:16; the isolated line is connective rather than a complete teaching claim.
