Job 33-34
Elihu is just so sure of himself. He takes a couple facts... adds a dash of accumulated experience...a hand full of youthful exuberance... and several mouth fulls of braggadocio... and a bit of indiscretion... then stirs the pot and calls it wisdom. You just have to smile and shake your head... remembering back to when you were so brilliant. Elihu, Elihu, Elihu. And then to top it all off, Elihu accuses Job of arrogance.
Perhaps Elihu was one of the examples that Solomon used when penning the Proverbs... "The wise don’t make a show of their knowledge, but fools broadcast their foolishness" or Alexander Pope when he wrote "fools rush in where angels fear to tread." Probably not, each generation seems to have its own share of fools.
