Job, Chapter 32

1 Then these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. 2 But the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram burned; against Job his anger burned because he justified himselfa Or more thanbefore God. 3 And his anger burned against his three friends because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. 4 Now Elihu had waitedb Lit for Job with words; or possibly while they were speaking with Jobto speak to Job because they were years older than he. 5 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men his anger burned.
6 So Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzitec Lit answeredspoke out and said,
“I am young in years and you are old;
Therefore I was shy and afraid to tell youd Lit my knowledgewhat I think.
 7 “Ie Lit saidthoughtf Lit daysage should speak,
Andg Lit manyincreased years should teach wisdom.
 8 “But it is a spirit in man,
And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.
 9 “Theh Or noblesabundant in years may not be wise,
Nor may elders understand justice.
 10 “So Ii Or saidsay, ‘Listen to me,
I too will tellj Lit my knowledgewhat I think.’
 11 “Behold, I waited for your words,
I listened to your reasonings,
While youk Lit searched out wordspondered what to say.
 12 “I even paid close attention to you;
l Lit BeholdIndeed, there was no one who refuted Job,
Not one of you who answered his words.
 13 “Do not say,
‘We have found wisdom;
God willm Lit drive awayrout him, not man.’
 14 “For he has not arranged his words against me,
Nor will I reply to him with yourn Lit wordsarguments.
 15 “They are dismayed, they no longer answer;
Words haveo Lit moved away fromfailed them.
 16 “Shall I wait, because they do not speak,
Because theyp Lit standstop and no longer answer?
 17 “I too will answer my share,
I also will tell my opinion.
 18 “For I am full of words;
The spirit within me constrains me.
 19 “Behold, my belly is like unvented wine,
Like new wineskins it is about to burst.
 20 “Let me speak that I may get relief;
Let me open my lips and answer.
 21 “Let me now be partial to no one,
Nor flatter any man.
 22 “For I do not know how to flatter,
Else my Maker would soon take me away.
