Job 32
1 And these three men cease from answering Job, for he [is] righteous in his own eyes,
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he [was] righteous in his own eyes.
2 and burn doth the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job hath his anger burned, because of his justifying himself more than God;
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 and against his three friends hath his anger burned, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.
Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and [yet] had condemned Job.
4 And Elihu hath waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.
Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they [were] elder than he.
5 And Elihu seeth that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burneth.
When Elihu saw that [there was] no answer in the mouth of [these] three men, then his wrath was kindled.
6 And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answereth and saith: — Young I [am] in days, and ye [are] age Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of shewing you my opinion.
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 do speak, And multitude of years teach wisdom.
I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8 Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Doth cause them to understand.
But [there is] a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
9 The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.
Great men are not [always] wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
10 Therefore I have said: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion — even I.
Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
11 Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings.
Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
12 And unto you I attend, And lo, there is no reasoner for Job, [Or] answerer of his sayings among you.
Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, [there was] none of you that convinced Job, [or] that answered his words:
13 Lest ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him away, not man.
Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
14 And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your sayings I do not answer him.
Now he hath not directed [his] words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15 (They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed from themselves words.
They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
16 And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered any more.)
When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, [and] answered no more; )
17 I answer, even I — my share, I shew my opinion — even I.
[I said], I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
18 For I have been full of words, Distressed me hath the spirit of my breast,
For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
19 Lo, my breast [is] as wine not opened, Like new bottles it is broken up.
Behold, my belly [is] as wine [which] hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
20 I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.
I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
21 Let me not, I pray you, accept the face of any, Nor unto man give flattering titles,
Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
22 For I have not known to give flattering titles, In a little doth my Maker take me away.
For I know not to give flattering titles; [in so doing] my maker would soon take me away.
