This is Elihu speaking, a younger man who had been listening to the debate between Job and his three friends about why Job was suffering. Elihu had waited respectfully for the older men to finish before offering his perspective. He believed that Job had been too focused on defending his own righteousness rather than acknowledging God's perfect justice and wisdom.
