    2Then Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, became very angry. He was angry with Job for justifying himself rather than God.

    3With Job’s three friends he was also angry, because they could not find an answer, and so declared Job guilty.

    4Now Elihu had waited before speaking to Job, because the others were older than he was.

    13So do not say,‘We have found wisdom! God will refute him, not man!’
