Job 32:4 - Robertson's Book Notes (NT)

Job 32:4

2 Then the wrath of Elihu, the son of Barachel the ^aBuzite, of the family of Ram, was aroused against Job; his wrath was aroused because he ^bjustified himself rather than God.

3 Also against his three friends his wrath was aroused, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

4 Now because they were years older than he, Elihu had waited to speak to Job.

5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was aroused.

6 So Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, answered and said:
“I am ^ayoung in years, and you are very old;
Therefore I was afraid,
And dared not declare my opinion to you.

7 I said,¹ ‘Age should speak,
And multitude of years should teach wisdom.’

8 But there is a spirit in man,
And ^athe breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.

9 ^aGreat¹ men are not always wise,
Nor do the aged always understand justice.

10 “Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me,
I also will declare my opinion.’

11 Indeed I waited for your words,
I listened to your reasonings, while you searched out what to say.
