“As to his friends, the text continues, "Further, he was indignant against his three friends because they had not found a reasonable answer," with which they might respond to his words in which he asserted that he was righteous, "but they merely condemned Job," saying that he was evil.”
Thomas Aquinas, 13th c. — Commentary on Job

In context
1So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
— Job 32:3 —
4Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
5When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
