Thinkest.
My.
 What manifests His character, in its perfection, discloses the nature and ways of man as he is. (Job 32-37 by S. Ridout)
 We notice again the gracious tone of Elihu. He is appealing to Job’s reason and conscience, seeking to win him from his hard and sinful thoughts of God to simple trust in One who may hide Himself in the darkness, but who must be good in all He does. (Job 32-37 by S. Ridout)
 Had not Job brought himself to just such a conclusion? “I have not sinned to deserve such treatment; my life is blameless before man and God; there is no reason for His afflicting except for glaring transgressions, therefore He is unjust!” (Job 32-37 by S. Ridout)
