But when he saw that the three men had no further reply, his anger was kindled.

Job 32:5 in context

The verses around it, from Job 32.

1 So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

2 This kindled the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram. He burned with anger against Job for justifying himself rather than God,

3 and he burned with anger against Job’s three friends because they had failed to refute Job, and yet had condemned him.

4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the others were older than he.

5 But when he saw that the three men had no further reply, his anger was kindled.

6 So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite declared: “I am young in years, while you are old; that is why I was timid and afraid to tell you what I know.

7 I thought that age should speak, and many years should teach wisdom.

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

9 It is not only the old who are wise, or the elderly who understand justice.
