Job 32

  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 man2019s 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. 🔗
