Jó 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 ) .

Jó 32:4 In-Context

2 Mas Eliú, filho de Baraquel, de Buz, da família de Rão, indignou-se muito contra Jó, porque este se justificava diante de Deus.

3 Também se indignou contra os três amigos, pois não encontraram meios de refutar Jó, e mesmo assim o tinham condenado.

4 Eliú tinha ficado esperando para falar a Jó porque eles eram mais velhos que ele.

5 Mas, quando viu que os três não tinham mais nada a dizer, indignou-se.

6 Então Eliú, filho de Baraquel, de Buz, falou:“Eu sou jovem,vocês têm idade.Por isso tive receioe não ousei dizer a vocês o que sei.
