JOB C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 C10 C11 C12 C13 C14 C15 C16 C17 C18 C19 C20 C21 C22 C23 C24 C25 C26 C27 C28 C29 C30 C31 C32 C33 C34 C35 C36 C37 C38 C39 C40 C41 C42
32 Now these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. Then 2 the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled; against Job was his anger kindled, because he had made himself 3 out to be more righteous than God. But his anger was kindled against his three friends as well, because they had condemned Job without finding 4 any answer. Now, as they were older, Elihu had 5 waited while they were speaking with Job; but, on seeing that the three men had no answer to offer, Elihu’s anger was kindled.
6 Then Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said: I am but young in years,
While ye are aged men:
So I was timid, and feared
To set my opinion before you.
7 I felt that days ought to speak,
And that years gave the right to teach wisdom.
8 But the spririt enlighteneth men,
The Almighty inspires then with insight.
9 It is not the old men that are wise,
Nor the aged that understand truth;
10 And so, pray, listen to me–
I, too, would set forth my opinion.
11a I waited what you had to say,
11b I lent mine ear to your reasons;
12a Yea, I gave heed unto you,
11c While ye searched out what to say.
12b But see! none brought conviction to Job,
12c Not a man of you answered his words.
13 Say not "Here wer have come upon wisdom;
’Tis God must confound him, not man."
14 He hath not yet debated with me,
Nor will I give him answers like yours.
15 Panic-stricken they answer no more,
Words have floated away from them.
16 Must I wait because they are silent,
Stand still, and answer no more?
17 Nay, but I, too, will answer my share;
I, too, will set forth my opinion.
18 For filled with words am I;
The breath in my body distress me.
19 Like wine without vent is my belly,
Like new wine-skins ready to burst.
20 I must speak and so find me relief;
I must open my lips and make answer.
21 I would show my favour to none,
And give flattering titles to no man.
22 Of flattery I know nothing–
Else soon would my Maker remove me.
