1 Because Job was convinced of his own innocence, the three men gave up trying to answer him.
2 But a bystander named Elihu could not control his anger any longer, because Job was justifying himself and blaming God. (Elihu was the son of Barakel, a descendant of Buz, and belonged to the clan of Ram.)
3 He was also angry with Job's three friends. They could not find any way to answer Job, and this made it appear that God was in the wrong.
4 Because Elihu was the youngest one there, he had waited until everyone finished speaking.
5 When he saw that the three men could not answer Job, he was angry
6 and began to speak.I am young, and you are old,so I was afraid to tell you what I think.
7 I told myself that you ought to speak,that you older men should share your wisdom.
