Job 32:5

5 cum autem vidisset quod tres respondere non potuissent iratus est vehementer

Job 32:5 Meaning and Commentary

Job 32:5

When Elihu saw that [there was] no answer in the mouth of
[these] three men
That could be called an answer; nay, when he perceived they were quite nonplussed and silenced, though men of years and experience, and reputed wise and knowing:

then his wrath was kindled;
his spirit was stirred up; his heart was hot within him; he burned with anger against those men; he was all on fire, as it were, and wanted to vent his resentment.

Job 32:5 In-Context

3 porro adversum amicos eius indignatus est eo quod non invenissent responsionem rationabilem sed tantummodo condemnassent Iob

4 igitur Heliu expectavit Iob loquentem eo quod seniores se essent qui loquebantur

5 cum autem vidisset quod tres respondere non potuissent iratus est vehementer

6 respondensque Heliu filius Barachel Buzites dixit iunior sum tempore vos autem antiquiores idcirco dimisso capite veritus sum indicare vobis meam sententiam

7 sperabam enim quod aetas prolixior loqueretur et annorum multitudo doceret sapientiam
