Contextual Overview

1So these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes [and could not be persuaded otherwise by them]. 2But Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, became indignant. His indignation was kindled and burned and he became upset with Job because he justified himself rather than God [and even expressed doubts about God's character]. 3Elihu's anger burned against Job's three friends because they had found no answer [and were unable to determine Job's error], and yet they had condemned Job and declared him to be in the wrong [and responsible for his own afflictions]. 4Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the others were years older than he. 5And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouths of these three men, he burned with anger.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

When Elihu saw that [there was] no answer in the mouth of [these] three men,.... That could be called an answer; nay, when he perceived they were quite nonplussed and silenced, though men of years and experience, and reputed wise and knowing:

then his wrath was kindled; his spirit was stirred up; his heart was hot within him; he burned with anger against those men; he was all on fire, as it were, and wanted to vent his resentment.
