Sense and compassion

Job's plight looms large in chapter 1 and chapter 14 of my book, and Job sets the stage for the theme of 'sense vs. non-sense.' When Elihu joins the fray, he is angry at Job for his alleged insolence and angry at the friends for their inability to silence Job. Elihu's body language, here in Blake's rendition, is striking for the absence of compassion.
