Notes
The Buzite: Buz had ties with Aram and Arabia, similar to Uz (Genesis 22:21; Jeremiah 25:23; Job 1:1).
Elihu often said he was angry. He probably considered his anger as righteous "zeal" (Psalm 69:9).
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.
