Job 32:4

Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken ,.... Made an end of speaking, until he had thus expressed himself, "the words of Job are ended", Job 31:40 , and waited likewise until his three friends had said all they had to say, and which is here supposed and implied, as appears by what follows:

because they were elder than he ; it may be added, from the original text, "in", or "as two days" F12 לימים "diebus", Beza, Montanus, Mercerus; "quod ad dies", Schultens. ; they had lived longer in the world than he, and therefore did not take upon him to speak till they had done; he, as became a young man, was swift to hear, and slow to speak; that they were old men, appears from what Eliphaz says, Job 15:10 .
