Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 32:21-22

Job 32:21-22. Let me not accept any man’s person So as, either from fear of, or respect to, any man, to speak otherwise than I think. Do not expect me to speak partially, or by way of flattery, to any one, but bear with my free and plain dealing. As he found himself under a strong impulse to speak, so he would deliver his opinion with all freedom, and without partial inclination to either side. For I know not to give flattering titles That is, I have neither skill nor inclination to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 32:1-22

32:1-37:24ELIHU’S ARGUMENTSReasons why Elihu must speak (32:1-22)People came for various reasons to see Job. Many were merely curious, wanting to see the former leading judge, honoured citizen and respected wise man who was now decaying at the city garbage dump. Some came to mock, others to listen to the debate. Among this latter group was an intelligent young man named Elihu.As the debate progressed, Elihu grew restless and angry. He was angry at Job for his self-righteous assertions, and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 32:21

Job 32:21. Let me not, I pray you— Elihu's apology for himself is, that he would not presume to interpose in the debate till they who were his elders had done speaking: I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom, Job 32:7. But however, as God had given to every one their share of understanding, and as he then found in himself a strong impulse to speak, he would deliver his opinion with all freedom, and without flattery, or a partial inclination to either side. Let me... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Job 32:21

21. "May I never accept," c. Elihu alludes to Job's words (Job 13:8 Job 13:10), wherein he complains that the friends plead for God partially, "accepting His person." Elihu says he will not do so, but will act impartially between God and Job. "And I will not give flattery," &c. (Proverbs 24:23). read more

F. Elihu’s Speeches chs. 32-37Some critical scholars believe that a later editor inserted chapters 32-37 in the text of Job. [Note: See William Ewart Staples, The Speeches of Elihu: A Study of Job XXXII-XXXVII, pp. 12-24, and David Noel Freedman, "The Elihu Speeches in the Book of Job," Harvard Theological Review 61:1 (January 1968):51-59, for support of this view.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 32:6-22

Elihu’s reasons for speaking 32:6-22Elihu began by voicing his respect for Job’s three friends (Job 32:6-10). They were older than he, and for this reason, he said, he had refrained from speaking until now. However, he had become convinced that advancing age does not always bring wisdom with it. Rather, wisdom comes from God. "A spirit in man" and "the breath of the Almighty" (Job 32:8) evidently refer to the Spirit of God (cf. Genesis 41:38-39; Exodus 31:3; Numbers 27:18-21; Isaiah 11:2;... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 32:1-24

The Speeches of ElihuIt is the view of almost all scholars that the speeches of Elihu are a later addition. The grounds for this view are the following. His presence comes upon the reader with surprise, he is not mentioned with the other friends in the Prologue, and we have had no intimation that he has all the while been listening to the debate. It is still more remarkable that he is not mentioned at the close. Here God passes judgment on Job and the friends, and it is strange that Elihu is... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Job 32:1-22

Job 32:2 Job's friends kindly argued with him, 'You are suffering, therefore you are guilty'. And the argument was bad, because they only saw an exceptional accident in the life of a good man; but if that eternal life had been passed in continual residence on this globe, if notorious bad fortune had pursued him through eternity in the nineteenth generation, his descendants might well have said, 'Oh, Job, there is something wrong in you, for you never come out right'.
