Elihu claims inspiration, as a divinely commissioned messenger to Job (Job 33:6, Job 33:23); and that claim is not contradicted in Job 42:4, Job 42:5. Translate: “But the spirit (which God puts) in man, and the inspiration ... is that which giveth,” etc.; it is not mere “years” which give understanding (Pro 2:6; Joh 20:22).
