Son of Barakel the Buzite • Wisdom Literature
Elihu was a younger speaker in the book of Job who became angry with both Job and Job’s friends. He argued that God is just, wise, and greater than human understanding, and he prepared the way for the Lord’s own response by emphasizing God’s sovereignty and instruction through suffering.
