Elihu lies and falsely accuses Job.
From the linked article, this is EXACTLY what Elihu does. He blatantly LIES and falsely accuses Job of the most heinous of sins and calls Job "wicked". This says more about Elihu than about Job:
"Elihu repeatedly accuses Job of sin. Citing Job’s protest of innocence (33:9), Elihu flatly says, “In this you are not right” (33:12). But wait – Job is right! The first verse of the book says so (1:1). And God says so – twice (1:8; 2:3). But Elihu makes the same false accusations about Job that the friends ultimately leveled against him. Job “travels in company with evildoers” (34:8); Job “answers like wicked men” and “adds rebellion to his sin” (34:36-37); and as a result, Job is now “full of the judgment on the wicked” (36:17). One thing we know for certain is that the friends were wrong in their accusations against Job. Elihu makes the same charges, and therefore he is wrong as well."
