Job 32:1

Elihu Contradicts Job’s Friends

1 So these three men ceased answering Job, because he was ^arighteous in his own eyes.

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.

What Does Job 32:1 Mean?

Job 32:1-2

Job's three friends cannot convince him of his unrighteousness, not merely because he is righteous in his own evaluation, but also because their arguments had no effect on him. He seems determined to hold to his own opinion of himself despite all their reasoning. He needed God to reveal his secret and presumptuous sins (Psalm 19:12-13).
