Contextual Overview

6 Therefore Elihu the sonne of Barachel, the Buzite answered, & sayd, I am yong in yeres, and ye are ancient: therefore I doubted, and was afraide to shewe you mine opinion. 7 For I said, The dayes shall speake, and the multitude of yeeres shall teach wisedome. 8 Surely there is a spirite in man, but the inspiration of the Almightie giueth vnderstanding. 9 Great men are not alway wise, neither doe the aged alway vnderstand iudgement. 10 Therefore I say, Heare me, and I will shew also mine opinion. 11 Behold, I did waite vpon your wordes, and hearkened vnto your knowledge, whiles you sought out reasons. 12 Yea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that reproued Iob, nor answered his wordes: 13 Lest ye should say, We haue found wisedome: for God hath cast him downe, and no man. 14 Yet hath he not directed his words to me, neyther will I answere him by your wordes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore I said, hearken to me,.... Thou O Job, and every one of you his friends, for the word is singular; though I am but a young man, yet if I have the Spirit of God, and am under the inspiration of the Almighty, I may be able to say something to you worth your hearing:

I also will show mine opinion; for though for a while he was timorous and fearful of doing it, lest he should mistake and expose himself, yet having duly weighed and considered the above things, he was determined to do it.
