| 32:1 |
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
|
| 32:2 |
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
|
| 32:3 |
Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
|
| 32:4 |
Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he.
|
| 32:5 |
And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
|
| 32:6 |
And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion.
|
| 32:7 |
I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.
|
| 32:8 |
But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
|
| 32:9 |
It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice.
|
| 32:10 |
Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show mine opinion.
|
| 32:11 |
Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, Whilst ye searched out what to say.
|
| 32:12 |
Yea, I attended unto you, And, behold, there was none that convinced Job, Or that answered his words, among you.
|
| 32:13 |
Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man:
|
| 32:14 |
For he hath not directed his words against me; Neither will I answer him with your speeches.
|
| 32:15 |
They are amazed, they answer no more: They have not a word to say.
|
| 32:16 |
And shall I wait, because they speak not, Because they stand still, and answer no more?
|
| 32:17 |
I also will answer my part, I also will show mine opinion.
|
| 32:18 |
For I am full of words; The spirit within me constraineth me.
|
| 32:19 |
Behold, my breast is as wine which hath no vent; Like new wine-skins it is ready to burst.
|
| 32:20 |
I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.
|
| 32:21 |
Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; Neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.
|
| 32:22 |
For I know not to give flattering titles; [Else] would my Maker soon take me away.
