Job 32:6
And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.
Job 32:10
Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
Job 32:17
I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
There are three times in the KJV that the English word "opinion" is used, all in Job 32. The book of Job is a book of arguments. The word "arguments" is found only one time in the Bible, also in Job.
Job 23:4
I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
The English word "arguing" is also found only one time in the Bible, in Job.
Job 6:25
How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
Job and his three friends all expressed their opinions and argued in support of their opinions but God rebuked all four of them in the end for the errors in their thinking. Elihu was not rebuked and he was the only one of the lot who did not come across as one who is right and everyone else was wrong. He gave his opinions (which were right), called them his opinions, and offered for any of the others to prove him wrong after he spoke.
Elihu was right and should be a lesson to us about arguing our opinions in front of others. Give our views as our views and genuinely and politely allow others to express opposition with their arguments.
