Hey, you're listening to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace.

It is Shelby and Scott.

We are in Job, chapters 31 through 33.

We hope you catch every day's episode as we journey through scripture.

Don't forget to follow, subscribe, so that episode just comes straight to you.

Scott, what's going on in these few chapters that we're covering today?

So we reach kind of a little bit of a milestone chapter 31 because these are sort of Job's

final words in the book. The very end of 3140 says the words of Job are concluded.

So he will have a couple of more lines later on, but no more speeches from him from this point on.

But chapter 31, this is part of his final defense, which you started looking at yesterday.

You know, chapter 29, if you recall, he was kind of reminiscing about the good old

days. Chapter 30 was just lamenting about how his life is now the complete opposite of the good old

days. Chapter 31 here, it's just an extended defense of his innocent. He's saying things like,

man, I haven't committed adultery. I've kept myself pure. I've been honest and truthful. Job has

not been a greedy man. He's been

kind to the poor. He's helps them. Job's a man who's concerned about justice. And then after he

pleads his innocence, he asks for a response from God. He says, let the almighty answer me. Let

my opponents compose his indictment. That's chapter 31, verse 35. So with that, it's kind of wrapping up

Job's monologues. And then we talked about how there would be another person introduced at this

point. So we have Elihu coming in here. Can you tell us a little bit about him and what he has to say

in these chapters? He's been here for this whole time. He just kind of starts to speak now. So he's just been off in a corner somewhere. But yeah, he's going to speak for the next several chapters. And Shelby, this guy comes in hot. So several times at the start of verse 30 or chapter 32, we read that he's angry. He's angry at three three friends he's angry at joe he's a young guy

too so he says hey listen basically i wanted to step back and let you old guys talk but hey
