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 Pero Eliú hijo de Baraquel de Buz, de la familia de Ram, se enojó mucho con Job porque, en vez de justificar a Dios, se había justificado a sí mismo.
3 También se enojó con los tres amigos porque no habían logrado refutar a Job, y sin embargo lo habían condenado.
4 Ahora bien, Eliú había estado esperando antes de dirigirse a Job, porque ellos eran mayores de edad;
5 pero al ver que los tres amigos no tenían ya nada que decir, se encendió su enojo.
6 Y habló Eliú hijo de Baraquel de Buz:«Yo soy muy joven, y ustedes ancianos;por eso me sentía muy temerosode expresarles mi opinión.
