1. God can do no wrong (34:1-37)

Elihu's 2nd speech is addressed to the three friends, then to Job. God is the Sovereign Creator. There is no way to hide from him. He is just. He does not show partiality to prince or pauper (5-30). A man who does wrong must repent and seek God's mercy. He can't just say, 'Sorry. I won't do it again,' and end the matter. We must come to God in God's way, on God's terms. God wants us to repent of sin and seek his mercy (31-33).

2. Does God listen to proud men? (35:1-16)

Elihu's 3rd speech is addressed to Job. There is no reason why God should listen to Job or to anyone else. God is God. His essential nature is not affected by men's deeds--good or bad. He created us, and made us wiser than birds or beasts. When men suffer, and cry out in arrogance or bitterness, God does not listen. But when we seek God our Maker with humble and repentant hearts, he gives us songs in the night.

Application: Lord, I seek you with a humble and repentant heart. Hear my prayer.
One Word: God gives songs in the night
