Job 32:2
2Then Elihu the son of Barachel athe Buzite, of the family of Ram, burned with anger. He burned with anger at Job because he justified himself brather than God.Job 34:5-10
5For Job has said, ‘I am cin the right,and dGod has taken away my right;
6in spite of my right I am counted a liar;
my wound is incurable, though I am ewithout transgression.’
7What man is like Job,
who fdrinks up scoffing like water,
8who travels in company with evildoers
and walks gwith wicked men?
9For hhe has said, ‘It profits a man nothing
that he should take delight in God.’
10 “Therefore, hear me, you men of understanding:
far be it from God that he should ido wickedness,
and from the Almighty that he should do wrong.
Job 35:2

and repent ▼
▼Or and am comforted
in ndust and ashes.”Ezekiel 18:29
