Job 32

1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.WBS — Job 32:1

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.WBS — Job 32:2

3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.WBS — Job 32:3

4 Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken because they were older than he.WBS — Job 32:4

5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.WBS — Job 32:5

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 show you my opinion.WBS — Job 32:6

7 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.WBS — Job 32:7

8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.WBS — Job 32:8

9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.WBS — Job 32:9

10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show my opinion.WBS — Job 32:10

11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.WBS — Job 32:11

12 Yes, I attended to you, and behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:WBS — Job 32:12

13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.WBS — Job 32:13

14 Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.WBS — Job 32:14

15 They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.WBS — Job 32:15

16 When I had waited, (for they spoke not, but stood still, and answered no more;)WBS — Job 32:16

17 I said, I will answer also my part, I also will show my opinion.WBS — Job 32:17

18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.WBS — Job 32:18

19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.WBS — Job 32:19

20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.WBS — Job 32:20

21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles to man.WBS — Job 32:21

22 For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing, my Maker would soon take me away.WBS — Job 32:22
