Job 32
Some account of Elihu, and his sentiments concerning the
dispute between Job and his friends, ver. 1-5. He excuses his own
youth, ver. 6-10. and pleads, that he had heard all they had to say,
ver. 11-13. That he had something new to offer, ver. 14-17. Could
not refrain from speaking, ver. 18-20. And would speak
impartially, ver. 21, 22.
Verse 1. Because - So they said: but they could not answer him.
Verse 2. The Buzite - Of the posterity of Buz, Nahor's son, Gen. xxii, 21. Ram - Or, of Aram; for Ram and Aram are used
promiscuously; compare 2 Kings viii, 28; 2 Chron. xxii, 5. His pedigree is thus particularly
described, partly for his honour, as being both a wise and good
man, and principally to evidence the truth of this history. He
justified - Himself not without reflection upon God, as dealing
severely with him, he took more care to maintain his own
innocency, than God's glory. The word Elihu signifies, my God is
he. They had all tried in vain to convince Job: but my God is he
who both can and will do it.
Verse 3. No answer - To Job's arguments as to the main cause.
Condemned - As a bad man.
Verse 4. 'Till Job - And his three friends.
Verse 6. Afraid - Of being thought forward and presumptuous.
Verse 8. Spirit - The spirit of God. Giveth - To whom he pleaseth.
Verse 9. Judgment - What is just and right.
Verse 12. Convinced - By solid and satisfactory answers.
Verse 13. Left - God thus left you to your own weakness, lest you
should ascribe the conquering or silencing of Job to your own
wisdom. God - This is alleged by Elihu, in the person of Job's
three friends; the sense is, the judgments which are upon Job,
have not been brought upon him by man originally, but by the
hand of God, for his gross, though secret sins: but, saith Elihu,
this argument doth not satisfy me, and therefore bear with me if I
seek for better.
Verse 19. Bottles - Bottles of new wine.
Verse 22. I know not - The more closely we eye the majesty of God as
our maker, the more we dread his wrath and justice, the less
danger shall we be in of a sinful fearing or flattering of men.
