Job 32 |
King James Version
The listed verse explanations of the individual persons have nothing to do with the explanations of the other persons. This also applies to the Bible translations.
Job 32:1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he [was] righteous in his own eyes.
Elihu is displeased at the dispute between Job and his friends
Job’s friends were silenced, but not convinced. Others had been present. Elihu was justly displeased with Job, as more anxious to clear his own character than the justice and goodness of God. Elihu was displeased with Job’s friends because they had not been candid to Job. Seldom is a quarrel begun, more seldom is a quarrel carried on, in which there are not faults on both sides. Those that seek for truth, must not reject what is true and good on either side, nor approve or defend what is wrong.
Verses that belong to this explanation: 1-5
1So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he [was] righteous in his own eyes.2Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.3Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and [yet] had condemned Job.4Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they [were] elder than he.5When Elihu saw that [there was] no answer in the mouth of [these] three men, then his wrath was kindled.

Title: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible Author: Matthew Henry
Elihu is inflamed not because [Job] declared himself to be righteous but because he did that before the Lord, as he invoked him as his witness; or because he thought that [Job] brought an action against God. In fact, to justify oneself has no great importance in itself, but to do that with the intention of bringing an action against God is absolutely inopportune.… Now, if this is true, what an extreme act of impiety on the part of Job if he believed himself to be more righteous than God [and to be authorized to bring action against him]. What really happened? This was not Job’s thought at all. It is Elihu who believed so. Job did not speak with the idea that he was more righteous than God but with the idea that God was responsible for his afflictions. Therefore he did not reproach God for any injustice: it is Elihu who understood it so. - "Commentary on Job 32.2–3"

Job 32:6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I [am] young, and ye [are] very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.
He reproves them
Elihu professes to speak by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and corrects both parties. He allowed that those who had the longest experience should speak first. But God gives wisdom as he pleases; this encouraged him to state his opinion. By attention to the word of God, and dependence upon the Holy Spirit, young men may become wiser than the aged; but this wisdom will render them swift to hear, slow to speak, and disposed to give others a patient hearing.

Why is it not said, But then, why did you not fight from the start together with us in order to defend God? He answers, I withdrew into my age, while I expected, he says, to hear you pronounce a beautiful and wonderful speech. Notice how he did not look for honors, how he conceded them the first rank, how he showed that even now he would not have spoken if they had not compelled him to do so. - "Commentary on Job 32.6"

Job 32:15 They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
He speaks without partiality
If we are sure that the Spirit of God suggested what we are about to say, still we ought to refrain, till it comes to our turn to speak. God is the God of order, not of confusion. It is great refreshment to a good man, to speak for the glory of the Lord, and to edify others. And the more we consider the majesty of God, as our Maker, and the more we dread his wrath and justice, the less shall we sinfully fear or flatter men. Could we set the Lord always before us, in his mercies and his terrors, we should not be moved from doing our duty in whatever we are called to do.

Could we set the Lord always before us, in his mercies and his terrors, we should not be moved from doing our duty in whatever we are called to do.
Verses that belong to this explanation: 15-22
15They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.16When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, [and] answered no more;)17[I said], I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.18For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.19Behold, my belly [is] as wine [which] hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.20I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.21Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.22For I know not to give flattering titles; [in so doing] my maker would soon take me away.

Job 32:19 Behold, my belly [is] as wine [which] hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
He speaks without partiality
If we are sure that the Spirit of God suggested what we are about to say, still we ought to refrain, till it comes to our turn to speak. God is the God of order, not of confusion. It is great refreshment to a good man, to speak for the glory of the Lord, and to edify others. And the more we consider the majesty of God, as our Maker, and the more we dread his wrath and justice, the less shall we sinfully fear or flatter men. Could we set the Lord always before us, in his mercies and his terrors, we should not be moved from doing our duty in whatever we are called to do.

He wants to show that he suffered for a long time and waited to speak and that he contained himself and could burst. Therefore, he needed a large amount of patience. To be able to control one’s words is the greatest proof of wisdom, and [Elihu’s] ardor for God has enabled him to bear such an interior fire. - "Commentary on Job 31.18–19"

“I must speak so that I may find relief,” like a woman in labor, who, after bringing forth her offspring, is relieved from the pain of giving birth. And again, “my belly is in pain and does not open,” that is, I was in pain and could not find any respite, because I strongly desired to speak, but I abstained from it. Now I will break my voice and will make a revelation. - "Commentary on Job 32.20"
