Contextual Overview
6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and you are very old; Therefore I held back, and didn't dare show you my opinion. 7 I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom. 8 But there is a spirit in common man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding. 9 It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice. 10 Therefore I said, Listen to me; I also will show my opinion. 11 Look, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, While you searched out what to say. 12 Yes, I attended to you, And, look, there was none that convinced Job, Or that answered his words, among you. 13 Beware you don't say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man: 14 For he has not directed his words against me; Neither will I answer him with your speeches.

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.
