Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
The saying stands within Elihu's argument pressing upon Job that Job himself is not very great while God is everything. At that time Job was still defending himself, knowing that he had committed no open sins against God. He was earnest and anxious for God to manifest Himself to him. To Elihu's plea Job made no answer.
Even when a person says he shall not see Him, judgment is still before Him, and therefore he is to trust in Him. Affliction does not prove that God is displeased with the sufferer. What brings glory to God serves the sufferer's best good when it is met with trust.
