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 older 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 show you my 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 show my opinion.
11
Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
12
Yes, I attended to 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 spoke not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
17
I said, I will answer also my part, I also will show my 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 to man.
22
For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing, my Maker would soon take me away.
