The verse stands in Elihu's speeches to Job, his argument and reproof, which occupy chapters 32 to 37. Those chapters make the third of the four parts of the book of Job, coming after the debate between Job and his three friends and before the speeches of the Lord out of the storm-cloud. Elihu's discourse is admirable yet does little to help Job. It expresses that Elihu has much to say and feels compelled by the spirit within him to speak.
