Who or what is this?
Young Buzite, son of Barachel, who has held his silence out of deference to age until his anger at both Job and the three friends finally overflows. In four uninterrupted speeches he argues that God instructs through suffering and dreams, defends divine justice, and points to the storm gathering on the horizon as a sign of God's majesty. His speeches lead immediately into Yahweh's own answer from the whirlwind, and unlike the three friends he receives no direct rebuke.
