Contextual Overview

6 So then Elihu, son of Barachel, the Buzite, responded and said: - Young, am I, whereas, ye, are aged, For this cause, I faltered, and feared - to shew my knowledge unto you: 7 I said, Days, should speak, - and, the multitude of years, should make known wisdom. 8 Yet surely, there is a spirit in men, and, the inspiration of the Almighty, giveth them understanding; 9 Great men, may not be wise, nor, elders, understand justice. 10 Therefore, I said, Hearken unto me, I will show my knowledge - even I. 11 Lo! I waited for your words, I kept giving ear for your reasons, until ye should search out what to say; 12 Yea, unto you, gave I diligent heed, - But lo! there was, for Job, nothing to convince, nor could you of you answer his speeches. 13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom. GOD, must put him to flight, not man. 14 Since he directed not to me discourse, therefore, with your speeches, will I not reply to him.

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.
