Job 36:1 marks the opening of Elihu's next speech, beginning his argument and reproof to Job. Elihu is the younger man who enters the debate between Job and his friends, believing his wisdom can correct Job. He follows much the same line as the other friends and receives no answer. In this argument he tries to show Job that Job is not great and that God is everything.
The instructive discourses to which the verse belongs extend through Job 32-36. The speeches beginning here extend through Job chapters 32-37. The continuing speech containing the verse covers Job 34 to 37.
The verse comes after Elihu begins speaking and before Elihu concludes and Jehovah speaks to rebuke Job. This portion of Job is the third of the book's five parts.
