Contextual Overview
6 And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, made answer and said, I am young, and you are very old, so I was in fear, and kept myself from putting my knowledge before you. 7 I said to myself, It is right for the old to say what is in their minds, and for those who are far on in years to give out wisdom. 8 But truly it is the spirit in man, even the breath of the Ruler of all, which gives them knowledge. 9 It is not the old who are wise, and those who are full of years have not the knowledge of what is right. 10 So I say, Give ear to me, and I will put forward my knowledge. 11 I was waiting for your words, I was giving ear to your wise sayings; while you were searching out what to say, 12 I was taking note; and truly not one of you was able to make clear Job's error, or to give an answer to his words. 13 Take care that you do not say, Wisdom is here; God may overcome him, but not man. 14 I will not put forward words like these, or make use of your sayings in answer to him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Yea, I attended unto you,.... Very closely, with great application and diligence, endeavouring to get, as it were, within them, and thoroughly understand the meaning of what they said:
and, behold, [there was] none of you that convinced Job; which was not owing to his obstinacy, but to want of proof in them, their words and arguments; they had charged Job highly, as particularly Eliphaz,
Job 22:5; but then they failed in their proof; they produced nothing to support their allegations:
[or] that answered his words; the arguments and reasons he gave in proof of his own innocence and uprightness, or the instances he produced, showing that God often afflicted good men, and suffered the wicked to prosper; and therefore no argument could be drawn from God's dealings with men, proving they were either of this or the other character, good or bad men.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
There was none of you that convinced Job - There was no one to produce conviction on his mind, or rather, there was no one to reprove him by answering him - ענה מוכיח môkiyach ‛ânâh. They were completely silenced: and had nothing to reply to the arguments which he had advanced, and to his reflections on the divine government.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Behold, there was none of you that convinced Job — Confuted Job. They spoke multitudes of words, but were unable to overthrow his arguments.
