Job 36:4
Compare all
2 “Bear with me a little, and I will show you
That there are yet words to speak on God’s behalf.
3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar;
I will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
4 For truly my words are not false;
One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
5 “Behold, God is mighty, but despises no one;
aHe is mighty in strength1 of understanding. 
6 He does not preserve the life of the wicked,
But gives justice to the aoppressed.

Job 36:4

I will not "speak wickedly for God," as the friends ( 0:0-1:1) }—that is, vindicate God by unsound arguments.

he that is perfect, etc.—Rather, as the parallelism requires, "a man of integrity in sentiments is with thee" (is he with whom thou hast to do). Elihu means himself, as opposed to the dishonest reasonings of the friends (Job 21:34).
