Job 36:3

With my knowledge I will speak comprehensively, ¹  and to my Creator I will ascribe righteousness. ² 

De 32:4; Job 28:12,13,20-24; Job 32:2; Job 32:8; Job 34:5,10-12; Ps 11:7; Ps 145:17; Pr 2:4,5; Jer 12:1; Da 9:7,14; Mt 2:1,2; Mt 12:42; Ac 8:27-40; Ro 3:25,26; Ro 9:14; Ro 10:6-8; Jas 1:5,17; Jas 3:17; Re 15:3

¹ tn Heb “I will carry my knowledge to-from afar.” The expression means that he will give a wide range to knowledge, that he will speak comprehensively.

² tn This line gives the essence of all of Elihu’s speech – to give or ascribe righteousness to God against the charges of Job. Dhorme translates this “I will justify my Maker,” and that is workable if it carries the meaning of “declaring to be right.”
