Elihu Talks about the Greatness of God

Today I read Job 36 where Elihu continues his speech this time talking about the greatness of God.  It really reminded me of a Psalm.  Now, I'm not mocking Elihu for talking about how great God is.  He is great!  It's just really strange to me the way people talked back in those days.  Elihu is supposed to be convincing Job he is not as righteous as he thinks he is but instead he is talking about how wonderful God is.  It's definitely not the path I would take in an argument personally.  So I just find it odd is all.  Until tomorrow.
