As Job was suffering AMY, Elihu says these words, “Job speaks out of ignorance; his words lack insight.’ Job, you deserve the maximum penalty for the wicked way you have talked. For you have added rebellion to your sin; you show no respect, and you speak many angry words against God.” (Job 34:35-37) We must be VERY CAREFUL about making false accusations against others. “You must not pass along FALSE RUMORS. You must not cooperate with evil people by lying on the witness stand.” (Exo. 23:1) “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.” (Matt. 5:11)
“…the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not spoken accurately about me, AS MY SERVANT JOB HAS. So take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. MY SERVANT JOB WILL PRAY FOR YOU, and I WILL ACCEPT HIS PRAYER on your behalf. I WILL NOT TREAT YOU AS YOU DESERVE, for you have NOT SPOKEN ACCURATELY ABOUT ME, as my servant Job has. When Job PRAYED FOR HIS FRIENDS, the LORD restored his fortunes. In fact, the LORD gave him twice as much as before!” (Job 42:7-8, 10)
