Job 32:1So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Job 32:2Then 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.

Job 32:12Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
Job 32:13Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
Job 32:14Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
