What does Job 32:14 mean?

Elihu, a younger man who has been listening to Job and his friends argue, is stepping in to offer his own perspective. He's saying he won't simply repeat what the others have already said, because Job hasn't actually addressed their arguments directly. There's a kind of frustration here, a desire to be heard on his own terms rather than lumped in with the same old speeches. In a way, Elihu wants a fresh conversation, though his youth and eagerness to prove himself come through pretty clearly in the moment.
