"Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?" (Job 38:2). God directly speaks to Job, and God is showing that Elihu did not actually understand what he was talking about.

Since Elihu's words are Scripture, I think that what he was saying are truths, and are things we can use for doctrines.
