Elihu appears on the scene

I took dizzy rollercoasters with Job and his three friends, going through 31 chapters of the Book of Job so far. While Job was consistently arguing for his innocence, his three buddies were preaching to him three different times with the same kind of tedious, judgmental sermon. They did not have pity on him, let alone their pastoral sensitivity or silence. Finally, in chapter 32, a young man, Elihu, appears suddenly on the scene and criticizes both Job and his friends. He is overconfident and dares to present his opinion/answer. He thinks he has the answer. I will see him going to argue for his case. Will he be successful?
