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

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 have no effect on him. He seems determined to keep his own opinion of himself in spite of all their reasoning.
