32:18-20 The length of Elihu’s speech (32:1–37:24) demonstrates that he truly was full of pent-up words. • Elihu probably thought the spirit (Hebrew ruakh) within him was prophetic urgency (32:8, 19-20; Ps 39:3), but the reader might find him full of wind (Hebrew ruakh; see study note on Job 15:2-3). • Like Zophar, Elihu must speak to find relief (cp. 20:2).
