Notes
Some translations read, "you are silent, now that you stand and no longer reply." Thus, Elihu addresses Job's friends. The Berean Standard Bible translates they are silent, now that they stand and no longer reply. This interprets Elihu talking to Job about his friends.
After three rounds of speeches between Job and his friends, a new voice speaks. Elihu, a young man, has listened to everything the others said.
