Job 32:13

Elihu Rebukes Job And His Three Friends

¹² I paid close attention to you.
Yet no one proved Job wrong;
not one of you refuted his arguments.
¹³ So do not claim, “We have found wisdom;
let God deal with him, not man.”
¹⁴ But Job has not directed his argument to me,
and I will not respond to him with your arguments.
