Job  


32 : 1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he wasrighteous in his own eyes.
32 : 2 Then Elihu the son of Barachelthe Buzite, of the family of Ram, burned with anger. He burned with anger at Job because he justified himselfrather than God.
32 : 3 He burned with anger also at Job's three friends because they had found no answer, although they haddeclared Job to be in the wrong.
32 : 4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were older than he.
32 : 5 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, he burned with anger.
32 : 6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said:I am young in years,and you areaged;therefore I was timid and afraidto declare my opinion to you.
32 : 7 I said,Let days speak,and many years teach wisdom.
32 : 8 But it isthe spirit in man,the breath of the Almighty, that makes himunderstand.
32 : 9 It is not the oldwho are wise,nor the aged who understand what is right.
32 : 10 Therefore I say,Listen to me;let me also declare my opinion.
32 : 11 Behold, I waited for your words,I listened for your wise sayings,while you searched out what to say.
32 : 12 I gave you my attention,and, behold, there was none among you who refuted Jobor who answered his words.
32 : 13 Bewarelest you say,We have found wisdom;God may vanquish him, not a man.
32 : 14 He has not directed his words against me,and I will not answer him with your speeches.
32 : 15 They are dismayed; they answer no more;they have not a word to say.
32 : 16 And shall I wait, because they do not speak,because they stand there, and answer no more?
32 : 17 I also will answer with my share;I also will declare my opinion.
32 : 18 For I am full of words;the spirit within me constrains me.
32 : 19 Behold, my belly is like wine that has no vent;like newwineskins ready to burst.
32 : 20 I must speak, that I may findrelief;I must open my lips and answer.
32 : 21 I will notshow partiality to any manor use flattery toward any person.
32 : 22 For I do not know how to flatter,else my Maker would soon take me away.
