(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.
