Job 32:1–5, “So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. Then 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. Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he. When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.”
For those who have read this account from the beginning, Job’s claims were correct. However, without knowing the whole story we might assume that Job was both arrogant and sanctimonious. Job’s friends assumed the latter about him even though he was a righteous and highly respected man. This shows how important it is not to judge people. We always judge other people by our own standards and assume that they think the way that we think. The major lesson from this account is that we shouldn’t judge other people without knowing all the circumstance. However, that is impossible for no one can read another person’s thoughts. There was another young and self righteous man around as well. He was called Elihu and he was very angry that the other people didn’t persuade Job to admit that Job had sinned. As a young man, without much experience, he felt justified in airing his prejudice without any restraint
