# General Information:

According to Elihu, instead of being punished for his sins, Job is sinning in the midst of these difficulties. This is a continuation of the first of Elihu's four statements. While Job has been complaining about the lack of justice and response from Yahweh, Elihu shows Job that Yahweh has shown him great mercy because he is still alive. 

# hear my speech; listen to all my words

Elihu is emphasizing that Job must listen carefully.
