Job 34:37 - Exposition

For he addeth rebellion unto his sin . Elihu holds that it is Job's "sin" which has brought on him his chastisement, and regards his expostulations and complaints as flagrant "rebellion" against the Most High. He clappeth his hands among us; i.e. he applauds himself, approves of his own conduct, and, instead of repenting, makes a boast of it. And multiplieth his words against God. Job had continued to the last ( Job 31:1-40 .) to justify himself and protest his integrity; which, in the view of Elihu, was to tax God with injustice.
