Elihu, the younger, speaks and seems to claim that it is not all age that gives wisdom, but the Spirit of God. Wisdom can be found in the young, also.
Elihu basically scolds Job for claiming that God has erred by striking Job. Remember, they do not know that it is Satan who has stricken Job, not God. God doesn't have to meet with job, God can seel al and knows all. Elihu says, "Far be it from God to do evil, from the Almighty to do wrong...It is unthinkable that God could do wrong, that the Almighty would pervert justice."
Elihu finishes his speech in almost setting up God's speech - "The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power; in his justice and great righteousness, He does not oppress."
God makes no mistakes - he oppresses no one. Yet, bad things do happen to good people. We all want to know why. God will talk next and His answer to why bad things happen to good people is for all to hear.
Till tomorrow...
