What does Job 32:3 mean?

Elihu, a younger man who's been listening to Job and his three friends debate suffering and guilt, finally loses his patience. Job's friends have spent chapters insisting that Job must have sinned to deserve his troubles, yet they haven't actually solved anything or comforted him. Elihu is angry at their hypocrisy: they've made confident accusations against Job without having real answers, which to him feels both unhelpful and unjust. His anger points to something real that many of us recognize: it's frustrating and hurtful when people rush to judge us or lecture us about our pain without actually listening or understanding.
