Job 32:1-6

The Voice

32 At that point, Job’s three friends stopped responding to him because Job was quite certain of his own righteousness. ² But someone else was there. His name was Elihu (Barachel’s son from Buz, of the family of Ram), and he was burning with anger toward Job because Job defended his righteousness rather than God’s. ³ And Elihu was also angry with Job’s three friends because they found no decent rebuttal to Job yet condemned him nonetheless. ⁴ Elihu had withheld his words from Job because he was younger than all four of them and knew it was improper to speak until each of them was heard, ^5-6 but when Elihu (Barachel’s son from Buz) realized the three men’s words were spent, his anger inflamed him.
