[No book] [1]So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he esteemed himself just.
[No book] [2]Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled: his wrath, I say, was kindled against Job, because he justified himself more than God.
[No book] [3]Also his anger was kindled against his three friends, because they could not find an answer, and yet condemned Job.
[No book] [4](Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken: for they were more ancient in years than he)
[No book] [5]So when Elihu saw, that there was none answer in the mouth of the three men, his wrath was kindled.
[No book] [6]Therefore Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite answered, and said, I am young in years, and ye are ancient: therefore I doubted, and was afraid to show you mine opinion.
[No book] [7]For I said, The days shall speak, and the multitude of years shall teach wisdom.
[No book] [8]Surely there is a spirit in man, but the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding.
[No book] [9]Great men are not always wise, neither do the aged always understand judgment.
[No book] [10]Therefore I say, Hear me, and I will show also mine opinion.
[No book] [11]Behold, I did wait upon your words, and hearkened unto your knowledge, whiles you sought out reasons.
[No book] [12]Yea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that reproved Job, nor answered his words:
[No book] [13]Lest ye should say, We have found wisdom: for God hath cast him down, and no man.
[No book] [14]Yet hath he not directed his words to me, neither will I answer him by your words.
[No book] [15]Then they fearing, answered no more, but left off their talk.
[No book] [16]When I had waited (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more)
[No book] [17]Then answered I in my turn, and I showed mine opinion.
[No book] [18]For I am full of matter, and the spirit within me compelleth me.
[No book] [19]Behold, my belly is as the wine, which hath no vent , and like the new bottles that burst.
[No book] [20]Therefore will I speak, that I may take breath: I will open my lips, and will answer.
[No book] [21]I will not now accept the person of man, neither will I give titles to man.
[No book] [22]For I may not give titles, lest my maker should take me away suddenly.
