Elihu Addresses Job and His Friends

32 These three men stopped responding to Job, because he was claiming to be righteous, in his own opinion.^{[a] 2} But then Barachel’s son Elihu from Buz, one of Ram’s descendants, got really angry. He was furious with Job because he had been declaring himself righteous instead of vindicating God. ³ Furthermore, he was furious with his three friends because they had not answered Job, but instead had condemned him. ⁴ Elihu waited to have a word with Job, since the others were older than he, ⁵ but when he saw that there had been no response^[b] from those three, he got even more angry.
