Job 36-37

Elihu starts off by saying "bear with me a little longer..."  Obviously he senses the frustration and impatience of Job as Elihu tries to argue his point further.  Now he claims to be speaking on God's behalf, which none of his other friends claimed.  But what he is essentially saying the same stuff over and over, like God punishing the wicked and to remember to praise God.

At the end of Job 36- Job 37 it starts to storm, so he takes the thunder as the sound of God's voice.  He goes on to talk about how the breath of God forms ice and fills clouds with moisture.  Then he tells Job to consider God's wonders and asks him if he knows how God controls the clouds and makes lightning flash.  I think he is judging Job here and thinking that Job doesn't know the awesomeness of God's power.
