Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 19. - Teach us what we shall say unto him. Elihu indulges in irony. If thou art so wise as thou pretendest to be, then he pleased to "teach us." We acknowledge our ignorance - we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness. Enlighten us, if thou canst.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19) Teach us what we shall say unto (or, concerning) him--i.e., the sun. "He is altogether hidden by the clouds; but is he gone? is he not still there behind them?"
