Scriptures: Job 32-42 A new character, Elihu, enters the scene—a young man who has listened in silence as Job and his three older friends debated. When the friends fall silent, unable to refute Job or defend God effectively, Elihu’s anger flares. He is upset with Job for justifying himself instead of God, and also he’s angry with Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar for condemning Job without providing real answers. Though younger, Elihu believes that wisdom is not reserved for the old—that true understanding comes from “the breath of the Almighty.”
