When Elihu saw it, that is, when he was as much assured of it (by their gesture and carriage) as if it had been visible, that those three men had no more to say, or would say no more (for the words may be referred indifferently to their will or power, when, I say, he saw they had no more to say) Either, first, to convince Job of error, or secondly, to defend the truth of God, which they had undertaken (when he saw this) his wrath was kindled, at that instant time, and for that very reason, his wrath was kindled. Some conceive (as was showed before) that this anger proceeded from the passionateness of his spirit, and so tax him with it as his fault; but I rather consent with those who say it proceeded from his zeal for God, and so it was his virtue and his praise.

I have met with these words two or three times already since I entered upon this Chapter, and therefore I shall not stay upon them here; And as this anger of Elihu was spoken of before, so the same reason which was given before of his anger is repeated and reported hear again; Then his wrath was kindled because they had no answer in their mouths, that is, because they had no more to say against Job whom they had condemned; and because they had no more to say for God whose cause in afflicting Job they had defended; I shall only add a few brief Notes upon this Verse, and so pass on.
