Commentary on Job 32:13
Elihu warns: 'Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.' The phrase matsanu chokmah (מָצָאנוּ חָכְמָה, we have found wisdom) suggests the friends thought they comprehended Job's situation. Elihu cautions against claiming to possess wisdom that belongs to God alone. The phrase 'God thrusteth him down' (El yiddefennu, אֵל יִדְּפֶנּוּ) means God defeats or repels him. Elihu argues that Job's case requires divine, not human, resolution. Only God can adequately answer Job; human wisdom fails.
