1 # So these three <07969> men <0582> ceased <07673> (8799) to answer <06030> (8800) Job <0347> , because he was righteous <06662> in his own eyes <05869>.
2 Then was kindled <02734> (8799) the wrath <0639> of Elihu <0453> the son <01121> of Barachel <01292> the Buzite <0940>, of the kindred <04940> of Ram <07410>: against Job <0347> was his wrath <0639> kindled <02734> (8804) , because he justified <06663> (8763) himself <05315> rather than God <0430>.
3 Also against his three <07969> friends <07453> was his wrath <0639> kindled <02734> (8804), because they had found <04672> (8804) no answer <04617>, and yet had condemned <07561> (8686) Job <0347>.
4 Now Elihu <0453> had waited <02442> (8765) till Job <0347> had spoken <01697>, because they were elder <02205> <03117> than he.
5 When Elihu <0453> saw <07200> (8799) that there was no answer <04617> in the mouth <06310> of these three <07969> men <0582>, then his wrath <0639> was kindled <02734> (8799).
6 # And Elihu <0453> the son <01121> of Barachel <01292> the Buzite <0940> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799), I am young <06810> <03117>, and ye are very old <03453>; wherefore I was afraid <02119> (8804), and durst <03372> (8799) not shew <02331> (8763) you mine opinion <01843>.
7 I said <0559> (8804), Days <03117> should speak <01696> (8762), and multitude <07230> of years <08141> should teach <03045> (8686) wisdom <02451>.
8 But <0403> there is a spirit <07307> in man <0582>: and the inspiration <05397> of the Almighty <07706> giveth them understanding <0995> (8799).
9 Great men <07227> are not always wise <02449> (8799): neither do the aged <02205> understand <0995> (8799) judgment <04941>.
10 Therefore I said <0559> (8804), Hearken <08085> (8798) to me; I also will shew <02331> (8762) mine opinion <01843>.
11 Behold, I waited <03176> (8689) for your words <01697>; I gave ear <0238> (8686) to your reasons <08394> , whilst ye searched out <02713> (8799) what to say <04405>.
12 Yea, I attended <0995> (8709) unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced <03198> (8688) Job <0347>, or that answered <06030> (8802) his words <0561>:
13 Lest ye should say <0559> (8799), We have found out <04672> (8804) wisdom <02451>: God <0410> thrusteth him down <05086> (8799), not man <0376>.
14 Now he hath not directed <06186> (8804) his words <04405> against me: neither will I answer <07725> (8686) him with your speeches <0561>.
15 # They were amazed <02865> (8804), they answered <06030> (8804) no more: they left off <06275> (8689) speaking <04405>.
16 When I had waited <03176> (8689), (for they spake <01696> (8762) not, but stood still <05975> (8804) , and answered <06030> (8804) no more;)
17 I said, I will answer <06030> (8799) also my part <02506>, I also will shew <02331> (8762) mine opinion <01843>.
18 For I am full <04390> (8804) of matter <04405>, the spirit <07307> within <0990> me constraineth <06693> (8689) me.
19 Behold, my belly <0990> is as wine <03196> which hath no vent <06605> (8735); it is ready to burst <01234> (8735) like new <02319> bottles <0178>.
20 I will speak <01696> (8762), that I may be refreshed <07304> (8799): I will open <06605> (8799) my lips <08193> and answer <06030> (8799).
21 Let me not, I pray you, accept <05375> (8799) any man's <0376> person <06440>, neither let me give flattering titles <03655> (8762) unto man <0120>.
22 For I know <03045> (8804) not to give flattering titles <03655> (8762); in so doing my maker <06213> (8802) would soon <04592> take me away <05375> (8799).
