Context of Job 32:3
1And these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. 2Then was kindled the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his anger kindled, because he justified himself rather than God; and against his three friends was his anger kindled, because they found no answer, and [yet] condemned Job. 4But Elihu had waited till Job had finished speaking, because they were older than he. 5And Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger was kindled.
