Refimprove date February 2008 File The Wrath of Elihu Butts set.jpg thumb right 240px The Wrath of Elihu by William Blake , 1805. Elihu is a character in the Hebrew Bible s Book of Job . According to the Book of Job, Elihu is one of Job Bible Job s friends, descended from Nahor Job 32 2, 34 1 . He is said to have descended from Children of Eber Buz who may be from the line of Abraham Book of Genesis Genesis 22 20 21 mentions Buz as a nephew of Abraham . Synopsis of Elihu s Monologues He is mentioned late in the text, Chapter 32, and opens his discourse with more modesty than displayed by the other antagonists. Elihu differs from the other antagonists in that his monologues discuss divine providence , which he insists are full of wisdom and mercy, that the righteous have their share of prosperity in this life, no less than the wicked, that God is supreme and that it becomes us to acknowledge and submit to that supremacy since the Creator wisely rules the world he made . He draws instances of benignity from, for example, the constant wonders of creation and of the seasons. Chapters 32 through 37 of the Book of Job consist entirely of Elihu s speech to Job. He is never mentioned again after the end of this speech. Possible pseudonymity of the character The speeches of Elihu who is not mentioned in the prologue contradict the fundamental opinions expressed by the friendly accusers in the central body of the text, that it is impossible that the righteous should suffer, all pain being a punishment for some sin. Elihu states that suffering may be decreed for the righteous as a protection against greater sin, for moral betterment and warning, and to elicit greater trust and dependence on a merciful, compassionate God in the midst of adversity. Some Citation needed date September 2010 question the status of Elihu s interruption and didactic sermon because of his sudden appearance and disappearance from the text.

The hills south of the Brahmaputra in some parts reach the height of 800 ft. The Brahmaputra, which divides the district into two nearly equal portions, is navigable by river steamers throughout the year, and receives several tributaries navigable by large native boats in the rainy season. The chief of these are the Manas, Chaul Khoya and Barnadi on the north, and the Kulsi and Dibru on the south bank. There is a government forest preserve in the district and also a plantation where seedlings of teak, sal, sissu, sum, and nahor are reared, and experiments are being made with the caoutchouc tree. The population is entirely rural, the only major town being Gauhati. The temples of Hajo and Kamakhya Temple Kamakhya attract many pilgrims from all quarters.
