\item Who has assigned Him His way, and who has said, ``You have done wrong''?\footnote{A familiar enough argument against transition (though not, I think, one that my Elihu believed). There is a whole slew of responses to this, many of which lean heavily on \emph{b'tzelem Elohim}, made in the image of God. For instance, the story of Rabbi Elazar, who, when greeted by an `excedingly ugly person', insulted him, to which the man replied, ``go and say to the Craftsman Who made me: How ugly is the vessel you made.'' \parencite{btzelem-elohim}.

They were more concerned about me fetishizing gender, and the only argument I have against that is time and rebirth. I couldn't say anything to them then, they were cut off as abruptly as is Elihu here.} (Job 36:23, Alter)

That transcendental estimation of God peeks through here and there (``Why, exalted is God, and we know not, the humber of His years is unfathomed,'' Elihu admits. (Job 36:26, Alter)), but he's constantly interrupting himself with exhortations to Job that, because he cannot possibly understand God, he should stop trying.
