Study note
Setting — Elihu addresses Job during his rebuttal sequence, pressing him to acknowledge his need for divine correction before God's justice is demonstrated.
The words — הֹרֵ֑/נִי (ho.Re./ni) commands "instruct me," while אֶ֭חֱזֶה ('E.che.zeh) denotes "[that which] I see," framing the verse as a direct request for revealed knowledge.
The thread — The plea for divine instruction and hidden fault detection runs through Psalms 32:8, 19:12, and 25:4.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to submit to God's teaching and correct known or unknown unrighteousness rather than defend his own position.

That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
