Elihu now gives his second speech. This time he seems to start by addressing Job's friends and considering how they should respond to what Job has said.
Elihu seems to share exactly the same opinion of Job as did his friends. "He keeps the company of evildoers ...". This is manifestly untrue. In physical terms he did not keep the company of the wicked. It seems that Elihu means that when Job questions God he is acting like the wicked.
Elihu then states, as indeed have the friends and Job himself, that God will not do evil. He is still failing to get to the heart of the matter.
