Job 32
1. So these three men ceased * to answer * Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2. Then 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.
3. Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled * , because they had found * no answer, and yet had condemned * Job.
4. Now Elihu had waited * till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
5. When Elihu saw * that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled * .
6. And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered * and said * , I am young, and ye are very old;wherefore I was afraid * , and durst * not shew * you mine opinion.
7. I said * , Days should speak * , and multitude of years should teach * wisdom.
8. But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding * .
9. Great men are not always wise * : neither do the aged understand * judgment.
10. Therefore I said * , Hearken * to me; I also will shew * mine opinion.
11. Behold, I waited * for your words; I gave ear * to your reasons, whilst ye searched out * what to say.
12. Yea, I attended * unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced * Job, or that answered * his words:
13. Lest ye should say * , We have found out * wisdom: God thrusteth him down * , not man.
14. Now he hath not directed * his words against me: neither will I answer * him with your speeches.
15. They were amazed * , they answered * no more: they left off * speaking.
16. When I had waited * , (for they spake * not, but stood still * , and answered * no more;)
17. I said, I will answer * also my part,I also will shew * mine opinion.
18. For I am full * of matter, the spirit within me constraineth * me.
19. Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent * ; it is ready to burst * like new bottles.
20. I will speak * , that I may be refreshed * : I will open * my lips and answer * .
21. Let me not, I pray you, accept * any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles * unto man.
22. For I know * not to give flattering titles * ; in so doing my maker * would soon take me away * .
