Job  


32 : 1 Then these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
32 : 2 But the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram burned; against Job his anger burned because he justified himself before God.
32 : 3 And his anger burned against his three friends because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
32 : 4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were years older than he.
32 : 5 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men his anger burned.
32 : 6 So Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite spoke out and said, "I am young in years and you are old; Therefore I was shy and afraid to tell you what I think.
32 : 7 I thought age should speak, And increased years should teach wisdom.
32 : 8 But it is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.
32 : 9 The abundant in years may not be wise, Nor may elders understand justice.
32 : 10 So I say, `Listen to me, I too will tell what I think.`
32 : 11 Behold, I waited for your words, I listened to your reasonings, While you pondered what to say.
32 : 12 I even paid close attention to you; Indeed, there was no one who refuted Job, Not one of you who answered his words.
32 : 13 Do not say, `We have found wisdom; God will rout him, not man.`
32 : 14 For he has not arranged his words against me, Nor will I reply to him with your arguments.
32 : 15 They are dismayed, they no longer answer; Words have failed them.
32 : 16 Shall I wait, because they do not speak, Because they stop and no longer answer?
32 : 17 I too will answer my share, I also will tell my opinion.
32 : 18 For I am full of words; The spirit within me constrains me.
32 : 19 Behold, my belly is like unvented wine, Like new wineskins it is about to burst.
32 : 20 Let me speak that I may get relief; Let me open my lips and answer.
32 : 21 Let me now be partial to no one, Nor flatter any man.
32 : 22 For I do not know how to flatter, Else my Maker would soon take me away.
