Job 37:19-20 | MHM | STEP | v. 19–20 : Elihu says, Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness. Shall it be told him that I speak?... if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up (Job 37:19–20 ). He admits that no one can speak to God as an equal, because people know so little and God knows everything. Elihu is humble, recognizing that even when we try to speak well about God, our words are never enough and we need to be very careful and respectful.
