Job 34:27 belongs to Elihu's speeches and argument, which occupy chapters 32-37 and form the third part of the book, giving his reproof to Job. It stands within chapters 20-37 as part of Elihu's speech in chapters 32-34. It comes after the debate between Job and his three friends, which closes in chapter 31. Elihu speaks as a younger man offering his superior wisdom to correct and reprove Job. He follows about the same line as the others, and he is given no answer.
