What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
The words are spoken by Elihu in his address to Job, as part of his argument and reproof directed to him. Elihu is the younger man who steps in after the dispute between Job and his friends closes in chapter 31. He intervenes believing that his superior wisdom will correct Job. He follows essentially the same line as Job's friends, and no answer is made to him. His argument forms the third of the five parts of the book of Job, covering chapters 32-37.
