Note the good example set by Job’s faithful counselor, Elihu.

15. What do we learn from Elihu’s example? (See also picture.)

¹⁵ Elihu spent days listening to Job defend himself from the accusations of his false comforters. Elihu felt compassion for Job. But Elihu also became hot with anger because Job had misrepresented Jehovah and had focused too much on himself. Even so, Elihu waited for his turn and then spoke in a mild and deeply respectful manner when counseling Job. (Job 32:2; 33:1-7) Elihu’s example teaches us an important truth: Advice is best given at the right time and in the right way​—with respect and love.​—Eccl. 3:1, 7.
