So these three
men
ceased
to answer
Job,
because he was righteous
in his own eyes.
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.

Also against his three
friends
was his wrath
kindled,
because they had found
no answer,
and yet had condemned
Job.
Now Elihu
had waited
till Job
had spoken,
because they were elder
than he.
When Elihu
saw
that there was no answer
in the mouth
of these three
men,
then his wrath
was kindled.
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.

I said,
Days
should speak,
and multitude
of years
should teach
wisdom.
But
there is a spirit
in man:
and the inspiration
of the Almighty
giveth them understanding.
Great men
are not always wise:
neither do the aged
understand
judgment.
Therefore I said,
Hearken
to me; I also will shew
mine opinion.
Behold, I waited
for your words;
I gave ear
to your reasons,
whilst ye searched out
what to say.
Yea, I attended
unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced
Job,
or that answered
his words:
Lest ye should say,
We have found out
wisdom:
God
thrusteth him down,
not man.
Now he hath not directed
his words
against me: neither will I answer
him with your speeches.
They were amazed,
they answered
no more: they left off
speaking.
When I had waited,
(for they spake
not, but stood still,
and answered
no more;)
I said, I will answer
also my part,
I also will shew
mine opinion.
For I am full
of matter,
the spirit
within
me constraineth
me.
Behold, my belly
is as wine
which hath no vent;
it is ready to burst
like new
bottles.
I will speak,
that I may be refreshed:
I will open
my lips
and answer.
Let me not, I pray you, accept
any man's
person,
neither let me give flattering titles
unto man.
For I know
not to give flattering titles;
in so doing my maker
would soon
take me away.
