📚 Historical Context
This refers to Elihu, a younger man who had been listening to the lengthy debate between Job and his three friends (Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar). Job's friends had spent many chapters trying to convince Job that his suffering must be due to his sin, but they couldn't adequately explain why a righteous man like Job was suffering so terribly. Elihu was frustrated that these older, supposedly wiser men had failed to provide satisfactory answers while still insisting Job was at fault.
