# General Information:

This is the third of Elihu's four statements and is addressed to Job's friends and then to Job. According to Elihu, instead of being punished for his sins, Job is sinning in the midst of these difficulties. Elihu explains the irony of Job's claim. He claimed to be righteous and desired Yahweh to intervene. In this chapter, Elihu explains to Job that his claims of righteousness are prideful. This makes him unrighteous.
