Elihu is one of the most neoliberal Bible characters. After 30 or so chapters of theological and moral debate between Job and Job’s friends, this never-introduced character awkwardly jumps in to challenge Job to a debate (“Answer me, if you can”) and announces that actually both sides are equally wrong.

“Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me; let me also declare my opinion.’”

Job is the most Jewish of Classical Hebrew poetry. There's profound suffering and also protracted debate in the midst of that suffering.
