Day 150: March 14, 2026 – Job 34-37 and Proverbs 21

It is interesting that the author of Proverbs 21 speaks about the rashness of youth and the danger of pride and haughtiness. It is not a good thing when we think we know more than we do. This is clearly not directed at Job, although those are the accusations against him, but rather against this new “friend” of his, Elihu. He is speaking as one who has all wisdom, in fact he says as much, that God had gifted him with the wisdom that no one else has. That is really the definition of what the author in Proverbs addresses that is very problematic.

Hopefully someone will put this youngster in his place, I think God is going to do that at the end of Job. Let’s see what happens. I do like the pairing of Proverbs 21 with the words of Elihu, it kinda highlights the pride that he should not have.
