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 ) .

2 Et Élihu, fils de Barakéel, Buzite, de la famille de Ram, se mit dans une fort grande colère contre Job, parce qu'il se justifiait lui-même devant Dieu.
3 Il se mit aussi en colère contre ses trois amis, parce qu'ils ne trouvaient rien à répondre, et que néanmoins ils avaient condamné Job.
4 Et Élihu avait attendu pour s'adresser à Job qu'ils eussent parlé, parce qu'ils étaient plus âgés que lui.
5 Élihu, voyant que ces trois hommes n'avaient plus aucune réponse à la bouche, se mit en colère.
6 Et Élihu, fils de Barakéel, Buzite, prit la parole, et dit: Je suis jeune et vous êtes des vieillards, aussi j'ai craint et je n'ai pas osé vous dire mon avis.
