Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 3. They had found no answer ] They had condemned Job; and yet could not answer his arguments on the general subject, and in vindication of himself.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - Job's friends were silenced, but not convinced. Others had bee present. Elihu was justly displeased with Job, as more anxious to clea his own character than the justice and goodness of God. Elihu wa displeased with Job's friends because they had not been candid to Job Seldom is a quarrel begun, more seldom is a quarrel carried on, in which there are not faults on both sides. Those that seek for truth must not reject what is true and good on either side, nor approve of defend what is wrong.
