The answer is: They had found no answer for Job

Job 32:3,5 - Here were men much older and wiser than Elihu supposedly and they had failed to come up with any answer for Job.

Elihu's anger toward Job's three friends is quite interesting, as it speaks volumes about the human desire for resolution and understanding. These friends – Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar – bring their own life experiences to the table, hoping their wisdom will assist Job in his time of suffering. They represent the conventional wisdom of their day, but when faced with the complexities of Job's personal crisis, they fall short.

Elihu, being younger and less experienced, ironically becomes the voice of reason by essentially critiquing these stalwart friends who should have furnished clarity but instead entangled themselves and Job in a debate. Think of it like someone from a fresh perspective deciding to challenge established norms – it’s refreshing but also often met with skepticism.

Interestingly, Job's story is centered around centuries-old themes of suffering, divine justice, and the age-old quest for answers about human suffering. Elihu’s decision to finally speak up kind of resonates with a spiritual narrative seen throughout the Bible—where often the younger generation or the metaphorical ‘thorn in the side’ brings insights that the institutional wise somehow overlooked (think of every prophetic voice that strayed from tradition to call for true understanding).

Additionally, contemplation reveals that this dynamic sets the stage for God's ultimate speech—immensely pivotal in shifting perspective on suffering and divine rationale. Elihu's sincere, albeit muddled attempts to reason, underline an intriguing Bible echo: wisdom and age do not always correlate with the right answers. Isn’t that encouraging? A fresh view can light the way!
