Job 32:2‑3,5• 2Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

ye have.
Job 11:5‑6• 5But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
 6And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth. (Job 11:5‑6)

• {v.7-17} But it is not like God needlessly to chasten even in this life of sorrow. “He doth not willingly afflict.” We must therefore see “the end of the Lord,” the outward recovery and restoration of the sufferer. (“Job 42:7-17” by S. Ridout)

• And yet their entire contention had apparently been for God’s righteousness! Had they not maintained this from the very outset, with many a noble description and many a scathing denunciation of evil? Had they not fastened the charge of iniquity upon Job in spite of absolute lack of proof, and in the face of well-known facts to the contrary? Zealous for God’s honor! —it had been their one theme. At least apparently so. But God does not accept honor at the expense of truth. It is His glory that all His attributes blend in one harmonious light. (“Job 42:7-17” by S. Ridout)
• This is the speaking of Jehovah “the thing that is right;” it is the taking and keeping of the sinful creature’s place who cannot understand the least of those perfect ways—ways which are right when they seem most wrong. (“Job 42:7-17” by S. Ridout)
