Elihu (son of Barakel)
The youngest of Job's friends
Elihu, son of Barakel the Buzite, was the youngest of those who spoke with Job. He waited to speak until the elders had finished, and pointed out God's greatness and righteousness before the Lord himself answered Job.

Spoke to Job
Elihu, the youngest, became angry and spoke up when the three older friends fell silent, speaking about God's wisdom and justice.
2Then Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, burned with anger. His anger burned against Job for justifying himself rather than God,
וַיִּ֤חַר אַ֨ף ׀ אֱלִיה֣וּא בֶן־בַּרַכְאֵ֣ל הַבּוּזִי֮ מִמִּשְׁפַּ֢חַ֫ת רָ֥ם בְּ֭אִיּוֹב חָרָ֣ה אַפּ֑וֹ עַֽל־צַדְּק֥וֹ נַ֝פְשׁ֗וֹ מֵאֱלֹהִֽים׃
6So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite spoke up and said: I am young in years, and you are old; that is why I held back, afraid to tell you what I know.
וַיַּ֤עַן ׀ אֱלִיה֖וּא בֶן־בַּֽרַכְאֵ֥ל הַבּוּזִ֗י וַיֹּ֫אמַ֥ר צָ֘עִ֤יר אֲנִ֣י לְ֭יָמִים וְאַתֶּ֣ם יְשִׁישִׁ֑ים עַל־כֵּ֖ן זָחַ֥לְתִּי וָֽאִירָ֓א ׀ מֵחַוֺּ֖ת דֵּעִ֣י אֶתְכֶֽם׃
