And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, his anger burned, emphasizing that Elihu's speech is provoked by the inadequacy of the three friends' response and his own conviction that he possesses answers they have failed to provide. The seeing of no answer suggests that Elihu has evaluated the debate and found it wanting. The burning of anger suggests emotional passion driving his need to speak. The verse establishes that Elihu sees himself as possessing the necessary wisdom.
