Job 32 (KJV)
- 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 man's 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.
