Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

And he was angry with his friends because they had not found a reasonable answer, but only had condemned Job.

and against his three friends was his anger kindled, because they found no answer, and yet condemned Job.

and against his three friends hath his anger burned, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.

And he was angry with his three friends, because they had been unable to give him an answer, and had not made Job's sin clear.

Moreover, he was indignant with his friends because they had not found a reasonable response, except in so far as they condemned Job.

Because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job - They held Job to be guilty, and yet they were unable to adduce the proof of it, and to reply to what he had said. They still maintained their opinion, though silenced in the argument. They were in that state of mind, not uncommon, in which they obstinately held on to an opinion which they could not vindicate, and believed another to be guilty, though they could not prove it.

They had found no answer - They had condemned Job; and yet could not answer his arguments on the general subject, and in vindication of himself.

Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled,.... He did not take part with either side, but blamed both, and took upon him to be a moderator between them, and deal impartially with them: what highly displeased him, and raised his spirit against the three friends of Job, was,
because they had found no answer; they were at a loss for one, for a sufficient one; they had all of them been answering him in their turns again and again, but with nothing to the purpose, not with anything conclusive and convincing; and particularly they could find and give no answer to Job's last vindication of himself:
and yet had condemned Job; as a very wicked man, and an hypocrite, for no other reason but because he was afflicted; and they still persisted in their sentiment, though Job had so fully cleared himself, and put them to entire silence; this exasperated Elihu, to observe these men to retain so unreasonable a sentiment, to pronounce such a rash sentence, and yet could make no reply to Job's defence of himself. Jarchi says, this place is one of the corrections of the Scribes, it having been formerly written "God" instead of "Job"; as if the sense was, that Elihu was provoked with them, because by their silence they had condemned the Lord, not vindicating his honour and glory as became them; but Aben Ezra declares his ignorance of that correction, and observes, that they that say so knew what was hid from him.

Though silenced in argument, they held their opinion still.

No answer - To Job's arguments as to the main cause. Condemned - As a bad man.
