Job 29: Job positions and pictures himself as a righteous man. He seeks the glories of his past days and laments that they have all vanished from his sight. Rather than seeking a humbling heart & attitude and forgiveness of his sins, his grief and continuous search for restoration of his former glorious life do not stop...

Job 30: Job cries out to God for help. He seems impatient to a point especially since he things God does not answer to all his lamentation. He thinks that he has now become an object of mockery to many others. Again, he mistakenly believes that he is a righteous person who does not deserve such punishment but cannot see the big scheme that's being controlled by the Almighty.

Job 31: I wonder why Job continuously tries to justify himself. He cites all his righteous acts before God but forgets his sins before Him. He tries to negotiate with God in a way to claim that he does not deserve such punishment. But he should rather humble himself and let God come into his life?

Job 32: Elihu is correct by saying that " But it is the spirit[b] in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding." Indeed, here Elihu is being compelled by the Spirit to speak these words to Job and his three friends.

Job 33: Elihu points out correctly to Job about what should be done. He should confess to God as follows:
‘I have sinned, I have perverted what is right,
but I did not get what I deserved.
28 God has delivered me from going down to the pit,
and I shall live to enjoy the light of life.’
