Job 32:3

Read in context

Job 32:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

2 This kindled the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram. He burned with anger against Job for justifying himself rather than God,

3 and he burned with anger against Job’s three friends because they had failed to refute Job, and yet had condemned him.

4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the others were older than he.

5 But when he saw that the three men had no further reply, his anger was kindled.
