|
|
## you men of understanding ##
|
||
|
|
|

|
Elihu is criticizing Job and his friends. He does not actually think they are wise. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-irony]])
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## far be it from the Almighty that he should commit sin ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This means the same as the previous part of the sentence. Elihu emphasizes that God always does what is right. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## he makes every man come upon the reward of his own ways ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This means the same as the previous part of the sentence. Elihu emphasizes that God gives to people what they deserve.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## nor does the Almighty ever pervert justice ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This means the same as the previous part of the sentence. Elihu again emphasizes that God always does what is right.
