 The editors of the NOAB offer additional insight, that Elihu's speeches may have simply been shuffled out of order (a problem elsewhere in the text) and that his speeches may have originally come after the final of Job's three friends' speeches after chapter 27. This both lends credence to the Hymn to Wisdom in chapter 28 being the conclusion of his own speech and ensures that God replies to Job immediately after \emph{his} final speech rather than after Elihu's, which would better fit the structure of the book. There is no reason it cannot be both, of course; the two additions could have been both interpolations and inserted out of order through some mix-up or whim in an early editor's haste.
 
-Indeed, Greenstein suggests that this goes even deeper: that much of the text from chapter 24 through chapter 28 may be jumbled due to this process of interpolation. This would include the Elihu interpretation around the Hymn to Wisdom.``I would explain this phenomenon by observing that toward the end of chapter 24 is a later insertion and that a roll of papyrus pages would have had to have been taken apart in order to insert the Elihu discourses, which include, I am convinced, chapter 38.'' \parencite[28]{greenstein}. He then, however, walks this back: ``The motive for inserting Elihu into this point in the dialogues, just preceding the deity's speeches (chapters 38--41), is apparent. The divine discourses dwell on God's power and majesty, not on his justice or concern for humanity---which are the elements Job has been seeking.''\footnote{``They form a part of the biblical book, they form a part of the biblical book,'' I repeat to myself, a mantra to the fact that this is the life we have. This is the death of Matthew and birth of Madison that I got, even if it isn't really the one I wanted, even if I could have transitioned earlier if it weren't for the guilt and weight of so many Elihus.} \parencite[183]{greenstein} Remember well this disagreement about a remembered text: it will bear fruit soon.

 All this to say that Elihu presents a departure from the rest of the book.
