Job 36:5

"For truly my words are not false. One who is perfect in knowledge is with you."

Key Reflection

Elihu asserts the truthfulness of his words, emphasizing their reliability and accuracy. He further suggests that his statements are informed by a deep and comprehensive understanding, implying a divine insight into the matter at hand.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Behold, God is Mighty -This is the first consideration which Elihu urges, and the purpose seems to be to affirm that God is so great that he has no occasion to modify his treatment of any class of people from a reference to himself. He is wholly independent of all, and can therefore be impartial in his dealings. If it were otherwise; if he were dependent upon human beings for any share of his happiness, he might be tempted to show special favor to the great and to the rich; to spare the mighty who are wicked, though he cut off the poor. But he has no such inducement, as he is wholly independent; and it is to be presumed, therefore, that he treats all impartially; see the notes atJob 35:5-8.
