Elihu's Whispered Wrath Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the quarrel is not about external facts but about an inner stance. The three hearers fall silent because Job’s claim of righteousness is an inward posture that treats God as distant. In Neville's terms, this righteousness is a state of consciousness—an I AM that believes itself separate from the divine. Such a state invites correction: Elihu’s wrath erupts as a sharpening of consciousness, not as punishment from a judge. When you acknowledge that you are the I AM, you permit God’s wisdom to speak through you rather than defend a separate self. The scene invites you to see that it is precisely the belief in self-sufficiency that triggers the need for adjustment. The remedy is to revise the sense of self until you can say, with humility, I am one with God, governed by divine truth. In that shift, the anger dissolves and the inner guidance—wisdom—becomes your immediate, living thought rather than a condemned opponent.
