Job 32

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

So these three men ceased to answere Iob, because he esteemed himselfe iust.

2 Then was kindled the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his anger kindled, because he justified himself rather than God;

Then the wrath of Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the familie of Ram, was kindled: his wrath, I say, was kindled against Iob, because he iustified himselfe more then God.

3 and against his three friends was his anger kindled, because they found no answer, and [yet] condemned Job.

Also his anger was kindled against his three friends, because they could not finde an answere, and yet condemned Iob.

4 But Elihu had waited till Job had finished speaking, because they were older than he.

(Now Elihu had wayted til Iob had spoken: for they were more ancient in yeeres then he)

5 And Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger was kindled.

So when Elihu saw, that there was none answere in the mouth of the three men, his wrath was kindled.

6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are aged; wherefore I was timid, and feared to shew you what I know.

Therefore Elihu the sonne of Barachel, the Buzite answered, and sayd, I am yong in yeres, and ye are ancient: therefore I doubted, and was afraide to shewe you mine opinion.

7 I said, Let days speak, and multitude of years teach wisdom.

For I said, The dayes shall speake, and the multitude of yeeres shall teach wisedome.

8 But there is a spirit which is in man; and the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

Surely there is a spirite in man, but the inspiration of the Almightie giueth vnderstanding.

9 It is not the great that are wise; neither do the aged understand judgment.

Great men are not alway wise, neither doe the aged alway vnderstand iudgement.

10 Therefore I say, Hearken to me; I also will shew what I know.

Therefore I say, Heare me, and I will shew also mine opinion.

11 Lo, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasonings, until ye searched out what to say.

Behold, I did waite vpon your wordes, and hearkened vnto your knowledge, whiles you sought out reasons.

12 Yea, I gave you mine attention, and behold, there was none of you that confuted Job, that answered his words;

Yea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that reproued Iob, nor answered his wordes:

13 That ye may not say, We have found out wisdom; God will make him yield, not man.

Lest ye should say, We haue found wisedome: for God hath cast him downe, and no man.

14 Now he hath not directed [his] words against me; and I will not answer him with your speeches. ...

Yet hath he not directed his words to me, neyther will I answere him by your wordes.

15 They were amazed, they answered no more; words failed them.

Then they fearing, answered no more, but left off their talke.

16 And I waited, for they spoke not, but stood still, and answered no more; —

When I had wayted (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more)

17 I will answer, I also in my turn, I also will shew what I know:

Then answered I in my turne, and I shewed mine opinion.

18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

For I am full of matter, and the spirite within me compelleth me.

19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; like new flasks, it is ready to burst.

Beholde, my belly is as the wine, which hath no vent, and like the new bottels that brast.

20 I will speak, that I may find relief; I will open my lips and answer.

Therefore will I speake, that I may take breath: I will open my lippes, and will answere.

21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person; neither will I give flattery to man.

I will not now accept the person of man, neyther will I giue titles to man.

22 For I know not how to flatter; my Maker would soon take me away.

For I may not giue titles, lest my Maker should take me away suddenly.
