Contextual Overview
6 So Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite spoke up: "I am young, but you are elderly; that is why I was fearful, and afraid to explain to you what I know. 7 I said to myself, ‘Age should speak, and length of years should make wisdom known.' 8 But it is a spirit in people, the breath of the Almighty, that makes them understand. 9 It is not the aged who are wise, nor old men who understand what is right. 10 Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me. I, even I, will explain what I know.' 11 Look, I waited for you to speak; I listened closely to your wise thoughts, while you were searching for words. 12 Now I was paying you close attention, yet there was no one proving Job wrong, not one of you was answering his statements! 13 So do not say, ‘We have found wisdom! God will refute him, not man!' 14 Job has not directed his words to me, and so I will not reply to him with your arguments.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore I said, hearken to me,.... Thou O Job, and every one of you his friends, for the word is singular; though I am but a young man, yet if I have the Spirit of God, and am under the inspiration of the Almighty, I may be able to say something to you worth your hearing:
I also will show mine opinion; for though for a while he was timorous and fearful of doing it, lest he should mistake and expose himself, yet having duly weighed and considered the above things, he was determined to do it.
