Job 32
32:1

So these three7969 men582 ceased7673 to answer6030 Job,347 because he was righteous6662 in his own eyes.5869

32:2

Then was kindled2734 the wrath639 of Elihu453 the son1121 of Barachel1292 the Buzite,940 of the kindred4940 of Ram:7410 against Job347 was his wrath639 kindled,2734 because he justified6663 himself5315 rather than Elohim.430

32:3

Also against his three7969 friends7453 was his wrath639 kindled,2734 because they had found4672 no answer,4617 and yet had condemned7561 Job.347

32:4

Now Elihu453 had waited2442 till Job347 had spoken,1697 because they were elder2205 than he.

32:5

When Elihu453 saw7200 that there was no answer4617 in the mouth6310 of these three7969 men,582 then his wrath639 was kindled.2734

32:6

And Elihu453 the son1121 of Barachel1292 the Buzite940 answered6030 and said,559 I am young,6810 and ye are very old;3453 wherefore I was afraid,2119 and durst3372 not shew2331 you mine opinion.1843

32:7

I said,559 Days3117 should speak,1696 and multitude7230 of years8141 should teach3045 wisdom.2451

32:8

But403 there is a spirit7307 in man:582 and the inspiration5397 of the Almighty7706 giveth them understanding.995

32:9

Great7227 men are not always wise:2449 neither do the aged2205 understand995 judgment.4941

32:10

Therefore I said,559 Hearken8085 to me; I also will shew2331 mine opinion.1843

32:11

Behold, I waited3176 for your words;1697 I gave ear238 to your reasons,8394 whilst ye searched out2713 what to say.4405

32:12

Yea, I attended995 unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced3198 Job,347 or that answered6030 his words:561

32:13

Lest ye should say,559 We have found4672 out wisdom:2451 El410 thrusteth him down,5086 not man.376

32:14

Now he hath not directed6186 his words4405 against me: neither will I answer7725 him with your speeches.561

32:15

They were amazed,2865 they answered6030 no more: they left off6275 speaking.4405

32:16

When I had waited,3176 (for they spake1696 not, but stood still,5975 and answered6030 no more;)

32:17

I said, I will answer6030 also my part,2506 I also will shew2331 mine opinion.1843

32:18

For I am full4390 of matter,4405 the spirit7307 within990 me constraineth6693 me.

32:19

Behold, my belly990 is as wine3196 which hath no vent;6605 it is ready to burst1234 like new2319 bottles.178

32:20

I will speak,1696 that I may be refreshed:7304 I will open6605 my lips8193 and answer.6030

32:21

Let me not, I pray you, accept5375 any man's376 person,6440 neither let me give flattering titles3655 unto man.120

32:22

For I know3045 not to give flattering titles;3655 in so doing my maker6213 would soon4592 take me away.5375
