Correct. Elihu's spill came later after Job's three friends couldn't convict Job of anything, yet were convinced that he had sinned.
Elihu is speaking to Job in Job 32 through 37. Elihu blamed Job as having sinned also, but for a different reason than the other three.
Partly right again. Look at what he says in the beginning. 32-2
He burned with anger at Job because he justified himself. He was upset because Job was accusing God of being unjust, because Job was without sin. In other words Job was calling God unjust. To keep from posting the next two chapters I'll simply post some of Elihu's words. Its pretty clear to see Elihu is a voice that speaks the words of the Lord. So much for our lesson on Job.
ch 33
[sup]8[/sup]"Surely you have spoken in my ears,
and I have heard the sound of your words.
[sup]9[/sup]You say, 'I am[sup](
I)[/sup] pure, without[sup](
J)[/sup] transgression;
I am clean, and there is no iniquity in me.
[sup]10[/sup]Behold, he finds occasions against me,
he[sup](
K)[/sup] counts me as his enemy,
[sup]11[/sup]he[sup](
L)[/sup] puts my feet in the stocks
and[sup](
M)[/sup] watches all my paths.' [sup]12[/sup]"Behold, in this you are not right. I will answer you,
for God is greater than man.
[sup]1
3[/sup]
Why do you[sup](N)[/sup] contend against him,
saying, 'He[sup](O)[/sup] will answer none of man’s[sup][a][/sup] words'?[sup][b][/sup]
[sup]14[/sup]For God[sup](P)[/sup] speaks in one way,
[sup](Q)[/sup] and in two, though man[sup](R)[/sup] does not perceive it.
[sup]15[/sup]In[sup](
S)[/sup] a dream, in[sup](
T)[/sup] a vision of[sup](
U)[/sup] the night,
when deep sleep falls on men,
while they slumber on their beds,
[sup]16[/sup]then he[sup](
V)[/sup] opens the ears of men
and terrifies them with warnings,
[sup]17[/sup]that he may turn man aside from his[sup](
W)[/sup] deed
and conceal pride from a man;
[sup]18[/sup]he keeps back his soul from the pit,
his life from[sup](
X)[/sup] perishing by the sword.
Ch 33
[sup]31[/sup]Pay attention, O Job, listen to me;
be silent, and I will speak.
[sup]32[/sup]If you have any words,[sup](
AT)[/sup] answer me;
[sup](
AU)[/sup] speak, for I desire to justify you.
[sup]33[/sup]
If not,[sup](AV)[/sup] listen to me;
be silent, and I will teach you wisdom."
ch 34
[sup]10[/sup]"Therefore, hear me, you men of understanding:
far be it from God that he should[sup](I)[/sup] do wickedness,
and from the Almighty that he should do wrong.
[sup]11[/sup]For according to[sup](
J)[/sup] the work of a man he will repay him,
and[sup](
K)[/sup] according to his ways he will make it befall him.
[sup]12[/sup]Of a truth, God will not do wickedly,
and[sup](L)[/sup] the Almighty will not pervert justice.
[sup]13[/sup]Who gave him charge over the earth,
and who[sup](
M)[/sup] laid on him[sup][
a][/sup] the whole world?
[sup]1
4[/sup]
If he should[sup](N)[/sup] set his heart to it
and[sup](O)[/sup] gather to himself his[sup](P)[/sup] spirit and his breath,
[sup]15[/sup]all flesh would perish together,
and man would[sup](Q)[/sup] return to dust.
Job 32 (English Standard Version)
Job 32
Elihu Rebukes Job’s Three Friends
[sup]1[/sup]So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was[sup](
A)[/sup] righteous in his own eyes. [sup]2[/sup]Then Elihu the son of Barachel[sup](
B)[/sup] the Buzite, of the family of Ram, burned with anger.
He burned with anger at Job because he justified himself[sup](
C)[/sup] rather than God. [sup]3[/sup]He burned with anger also at Job’s three friends because they had found no answer, although they had[sup](
D)[/sup] declared Job to be in the wrong. [sup]4[/sup]Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were older than he. [sup]5[/sup]And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, he burned with anger. [sup]6[/sup]And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said:
"I am young in years,
and you are[sup](
E)[/sup] aged;
therefore I was timid and afraid
to declare my opinion to you.
[sup]7[/sup]I said, 'Let days speak,
and many years teach wisdom.'
[sup]8[/sup]But it is[sup](
F)[/sup] the spirit in man,
[sup](
G)[/sup] the breath of the Almighty, that makes him[sup](
H)[/sup] understand.
[sup]9[/sup][sup](
I)[/sup] It is not the old[sup][
a][/sup] who are wise,
nor the aged who understand what is right.
[sup]10[/sup]Therefore I say, 'Listen to me;
let me also declare my opinion.'
[sup]11[/sup]"Behold, I waited for your words,
I listened for your wise sayings,
while you searched out what to say.
[sup]12[/sup]I gave you my attention,
and, behold, there was none among you who refuted Job
or who answered his words.
[sup]13[/sup]Beware[sup](
J)[/sup] lest you say, 'We have found wisdom;
God may vanquish him, not a man.'
[sup]14[/sup]He has not directed his words against me,
and I will not answer him with your speeches.
[sup]15[/sup]"They are dismayed; they answer no more;
they have not a word to say.
[sup]16[/sup]And shall I wait, because they do not speak,
because they stand there, and answer no more?
[sup]17[/sup]I also will answer with my share;
I also will declare my opinion.
[sup]18[/sup]For I am full of words;
the spirit within me constrains me.
[sup]19[/sup]Behold, my belly is like wine that has no vent;
like new[sup](
K)[/sup] wineskins ready to burst.
[sup]20[/sup][sup](
L)[/sup] I must speak, that I may find[sup](
M)[/sup] relief;
I must open my lips and answer.
[sup]21[/sup]I will not[sup](
N)[/sup] show partiality to any man
or use flattery toward any person.
[sup]22[/sup]For I do not know how to flatter,
else my Maker would soon take me away.
