Job 33
1.Elihu offers himself instead of God to reason with Job
8.He excuses God from giving man an account of his ways, by his greatness
14.God calls man to repentance by visions, by afflictions, and by his ministry
31.He incites Job to attention














Why do you complain to Him
This phrase addresses the human tendency to question or challenge God's actions or perceived inaction. In the context of the Book of Job, Job has been lamenting his suffering and questioning God's justice. This reflects a broader biblical theme where humans often struggle to understand God's ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). The cultural context of the Ancient Near East often involved questioning deities, but the Hebrew tradition emphasized trust in God's wisdom and sovereignty.

that He answers nothing
This part of the verse highlights the perceived silence of God in response to human questioning. Throughout the Bible, there are instances where God seems silent, such as in the Psalms (Psalm 22:2) and during the intertestamental period. This silence can be a test of faith or a call to deeper trust. Theologically, it suggests that God's ways and timing are beyond human understanding, and His silence does not equate to absence or indifference.

a man asks?
The phrase underscores the human perspective in seeking answers from God. It reflects the limited understanding of humanity compared to divine wisdom. In the broader biblical narrative, God often answers in unexpected ways or through His actions rather than direct responses (Job 38-41). This can be seen as a type of Christ, where Jesus, the ultimate answer to human suffering and sin, came in a manner that was unexpected by many (John 1:10-11). The historical context of Job, set in a patriarchal society, emphasizes the humility required in approaching God with questions.

Lists and Questions
Top 10 Lessons from Job 33

Who is Elihu in the Bible?

Why does God appear silent or absent?

In Job 13:3, how can Job claim he wants to reason directly with God if Exodus 33:20 states no one can see God and live?

How can Bildad confidently claim (Job 8:2-4) that Job's children must have sinned to deserve death, when other passages suggest righteous people can suffer unjustly?(13)Why dost thou strive against him?--Job had not striven against God, he had only expressed his longing to come into judgment with Him (Job 23:3, &c.). Job was striving with and against the darkness that was round about His throne, not with the justice of God, which he entirely trusted. Some render the last clause of the verse, "For none can answer any of His words," but the Authorised Version seems preferable.

Verse 13. -Why dost thou strive against him? Why dost thou insist on taking the attitude of one who contends with God, who would fain enter into a controversy with him, and force him to plead in his own defence? It is not alone his omnipotence that makes such conduct folly, but his remoteness, his inaccessibility. He cannot be forced to make answer; it is not his wont to do so; he giveth not account of any of his matters. It is presumptuous to suppose that God will condescend to reveal himself from heaven and make answer to thy overbold challenges.
