Elihu begins his actual arguments by paraphrasing what Job has said. He wants to be accurate in order to help Job, not just assume Job's thoughts like the friends. Elihu does get things correct, understanding Job is feeling persecuted by God unjustly, but thinks Job is wrong in thinking God does not answer us in our hardships. The question, "O God, why is this happening to me?" is common and we may not perceive an answer but God does give us answers through His Law and Gospel. One instance of the Law that Elihu gives is showing a prideful sinner the dangers of death and hell so they turn away from their sin and look to God.
