Chapter 32

Elihu prepares his speech

Elihu’s reaction to the other speeches

v1 So, these three men did not continue to answer Job. They saw that Job did not consider himself guilty.

v2 Then, Elihu became angry. Elihu was the son of Barakel, who belonged to the people called Buzites. He belonged to the family of Ram. (This is why Elihu was angry:)

• Job had said that Job himself was right, rather than God. So, Elihu was angry with Job.

• v3 And Elihu was also angry with the three friends. They had no reply. But they still said that Job was an evil man.

v4 Elihu waited until Job finished his speech. Elihu waited because the other men were older than Elihu. v5 But Elihu realised that the three men could not answer Job. Then, Elihu was angry.
