Job 32 · Grade 3

Young Elihu Speaks

Name Date

Read the Story

So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. A young man named Elihu became angry. He was angry with Job and also with the three friends.

Elihu was angry with the friends because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were older than he.

Elihu said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. But there is a spirit in man, and the Spirit of the Almighty gives them understanding. He said, I am full of words. Elihu said some true things about God. But he was also too harsh with Job. God Himself has the final word.
