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. |
