David denHartog teaches from Job 32–37, where we meet Elihu, Job’s fourth “friend.” Elihu delivers four speeches, speaking angrily about Job’s self-righteousness. Although he comes across as arrogant and boastful, he also speaks truth about God’s greatness. These chapters remind us that human righteousness cannot compare with the holiness and justice of God. Self-righteousness can lead us to think too highly of ourselves, while selfishness can make us judgmental of others.
