Job 32

• Introduction of Elihu: Elihu, a younger man, has been listening to all the discussions. He's described as being angry with Job for justifying himself rather than God, and also angry with Job's friends because they could not refute Job yet condemned him without finding an answer.
  
  
• Elihu's Preparation to Speak: Elihu waits until Job finishes speaking because of his youth and out of respect. He then explains that he must speak because he is full of words and his spirit compels him to express his knowledge.
• Theme: This chapter sets the stage for Elihu's speeches, which will focus on defending God's justice and arguing that suffering can be educational and redemptive, rather than merely punitive.
