In the context of the Book of Job, Elihu is speaking, urging Job to listen carefully. This reflects the biblical theme of wisdom being imparted through attentive listening, as seen in <a href="/proverbs/1-5.htm">Proverbs 1:5</a>, "Let the wise listen and add to their learning." The imperative to "listen" is a call to humility and openness to divine instruction, a recurring theme throughout Scripture.<p><b>stand still</b><br>The command to "stand still" suggests a pause for reflection and contemplation. In the biblical narrative, moments of stillness often precede divine revelation or understanding, as seen in <a href="/exodus/14-13.htm">Exodus 14:13-14</a>, where Moses tells the Israelites to stand firm and witness God's deliverance. This phrase encourages Job to cease his arguments and complaints, creating space for divine wisdom and perspective.<p><b>and consider the wonders of God.</b><br>This phrase invites Job to reflect on God's creation and His mighty works. The "wonders of God" refer to the natural world and the divine order, echoing themes found in Psalms 19:1, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." It underscores the belief in God's sovereignty and the intricate design of His creation, which is beyond human understanding. This call to consider God's wonders is a reminder of His omnipotence and the limitations of human perspective, pointing to the need for trust in God's greater plan.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A man of great faith and patience, Job is the central figure in the Book of Job.
