Guiding Questions: Job 35

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

See the first question in Job 34.
Is Elihu quoting Job correctly in Job 35:2-3?
Does Elihu suggest that God is unimpressed with a person’s deeds, whether righteous or wicked (Job 35:6-8)?
What does he mean by “contention” in Job 35:9?
According to Elihu, when are people moved to turn to God? What do they take for granted? Why the reference to nature (Job 35:9-11)?
What does Elihu say about God’s response to people’s cries or the lack thereof (Job 35:13-15)?
Is his appraisal of Job’s behavior fair (Job 35:16)? Why does he refer to Job in the third person?
