Job 32

¹And these three men cease from answering Job, for he [is] righteous in his own eyes,

²and burn doth the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job hath his anger burned, because of his justifying himself more than God;

³and against his three friends hath his anger burned, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.

⁴And Elihu hath waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.

⁵And Elihu seeth that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burneth.

⁶And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answereth and saith: — Young I [am] in days, and ye [are] age Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of shewing you my opinion.

⁷I said: Days do speak, And multitude of years teach wisdom.

⁸Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Doth cause them to understand.

⁹The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.

¹⁰Therefore I have said: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion — even I.

¹¹Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings.

¹²And unto you I attend, And lo, there is no reasoner for Job, [Or] answerer of his sayings among you.

¹³Lest ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him away, not man.

¹⁴And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your sayings I do not answer him.

¹⁵(They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed from themselves words.
