Elihu's speech is a continuation of the theme of God's sovereignty and wisdom, which is a central theme in the Book of Job. The context is a response to Job's questioning of God's justice and the suffering he endures.<p><b>my heart also pounds</b><br>The imagery of a pounding heart suggests a visceral, emotional reaction to the awe-inspiring power of God. This reflects a common biblical theme where encounters with God's majesty provoke a physical response, as seen in other scriptures like <a href="/isaiah/6-5.htm">Isaiah 6:5</a>, where Isaiah reacts to his vision of God. It underscores the human response to divine revelation and the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom (<a href="/proverbs/9-10.htm">Proverbs 9:10</a>).<p><b>and leaps from its place</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the intensity of Elihu's reaction, suggesting a sense of overwhelming awe and reverence. The heart "leaping" can be seen as a metaphor for the soul's response to God's presence, similar to the joy and fear experienced by those who witness God's works. This can be connected to the New Testament, where encounters with Jesus often led to profound emotional and spiritual responses, such as the disciples' reactions to His miracles.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>The central figure of the Book of Job, a man of great faith and patience who endures immense suffering and seeks understanding of God's ways.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/e/elihu.htm">Elihu</a></b><br>A young man who speaks to Job and his friends, offering a perspective on God's majesty and justice. <a href="/bsb/job/37.htm">Job 37</a> is part of Elihu's discourse.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_whirlwind.htm">The Whirlwind</a></b><br>Although not directly mentioned in this verse, the whirlwind is significant in the context of Job, as God later speaks to Job out of the whirlwind, symbolizing His power and presence.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_majesty_of_god.htm">The Majesty of God</a></b><br>Elihu's words remind us of the overwhelming majesty and power of God.

From its effect on cattle, Elihu passes to its effect on man (vers. 1-5); and thence goes on to speak of other natural manifestations of God's power and marvellousness - snow, violent rain, whirlwind, frost, and the like (vers. 6-13). He then makes a final appeal to Job to acknowledge his own weakness and God's perfection and unsearchableness, and to bow down in wonder and adoration before him (vers. 14-24). <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 1.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">At this also</span>; <span class="accented">i.e.</span> at the thunderstorm or at the particular crash mentioned in <a href="/job/36-33.htm">Job 36:33</a>. <span class="cmt_word">My heart trembleth</span>. A violent peal of thunder produces in almost all men a certain amount of nervous trepidation. Elihu seems to have been abnormally sensitive.
