וֶֽאֱלִיה֗וּ חִכָּ֣ה אֶת־אִ֭יּוֹב בִּדְבָרִ֑ים כִּ֤י זְֽקֵנִים־הֵ֖מָּה מִמֶּ֣נּוּ לְיָמִֽים
and,Elihu waited DOM ʼIyyōⱱ in/on/at/with,speak that/for/because/then/when older they(emph) from=him/it in,years
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “Now Job’s friends were much older than Elihu, so he had waited until they had finished speaking to Job before he spoke himself”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וֶֽאֱלִיה֗וּ חִכָּ֣ה אֶת־אִ֭יּוֹב בִּדְבָרִ֑ים כִּ֤י
and,Elihu waited DOM ʼIyyōⱱ in/on/at/with,speak that/for/because/then/when
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, the narrator is using the term words to mean what Elihu wanted to say by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
זְֽקֵנִים־הֵ֖מָּה & לְיָמִֽים
older they(emph) & in,years
See how you translated the similar expression in 30:1. Alternate translation: “they were older in age”
32:1–37:24 Having completed three cycles of speeches between Job and his three friends, we now hear from a new voice. Elihu has not been previously introduced, but he is a young man who has listened to everything the others have said.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
