Job 32:4 Meaning and Commentary

Job 32:4

Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken
Made an end of speaking, until he had thus expressed himself, "the words of Job are ended", ( Job 31:40 ) : and waited likewise until his three friends had said all they had to say, and which is here supposed and implied, as appears by what follows:

because they [were] elder than he;
it may be added, from the original text, "in", or "as two days" F12; they had lived longer in the world than he, and therefore did not take upon him to speak till they had done; he, as became a young man, was swift to hear, and slow to speak; that they were old men, appears from what Eliphaz says, ( Job 15:10 ) .

Job 32:4 In-Context

2 Alors s'enflamma de colère Elihu, fils de Barakeel de Buz, de la famille de Ram. Sa colère s'enflamma contre Job, parce qu'il se disait juste devant Dieu.
3 Et sa colère s'enflamma contre ses trois amis, parce qu'ils ne trouvaient rien à répondre et que néanmoins ils condamnaient Job.
4 Comme ils étaient plus âgés que lui, Elihu avait attendu jusqu'à ce moment pour parler à Job.
5 Mais, voyant qu'il n'y avait plus de réponse dans la bouche de ces trois hommes, Elihu s'enflamma de colère.
6 Et Elihu, fils de Barakeel de Buz, prit la parole et dit: Je suis jeune, et vous êtes des vieillards; C'est pourquoi j'ai craint, j'ai redouté De vous faire connaître mon sentiment.
