Job 32
1 So these three men ceased to answere Iob, because he esteemed himselfe iust.
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2 Then the wrath of Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the familie of Ram, was kindled: his wrath, I say, was kindled against Iob, because he iustified himselfe more then God.
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.
3 Also his anger was kindled against his three friends, because they could not finde an answere, and yet condemned Iob.
Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4 (Now Elihu had wayted til Iob had spoken: for they were more ancient in yeeres then he)
Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
5 So when Elihu saw, that there was none answere in the mouth of the three men, his wrath was kindled.
When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
6 Therefore Elihu the sonne of Barachel, the Buzite answered, and sayd, I am yong in yeres, and ye are ancient: therefore I doubted, and was afraide to shewe you mine opinion.
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 shew you mine opinion.
7 For I said, The dayes shall speake, and the multitude of yeeres shall teach wisedome.
I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8 Surely there is a spirite in man, but the inspiration of the Almightie giueth vnderstanding.
But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
9 Great men are not alway wise, neither doe the aged alway vnderstand iudgement.
Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
10 Therefore I say, Heare me, and I will shew also mine opinion.
Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
11 Behold, I did waite vpon your wordes, and hearkened vnto your knowledge, whiles you sought out reasons.
Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
12 Yea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that reproued Iob, nor answered his wordes:
Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
13 Lest ye should say, We haue found wisedome: for God hath cast him downe, and no man.
Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
14 Yet hath he not directed his words to me, neyther will I answere him by your wordes.
Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15 Then they fearing, answered no more, but left off their talke.
They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
16 When I had wayted (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more)
When I had waited, ( for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more; )
17 Then answered I in my turne, and I shewed mine opinion.
I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
18 For I am full of matter, and the spirite within me compelleth me.
For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
19 Beholde, my belly is as the wine, which hath no vent, and like the new bottels that brast.
Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
20 Therefore will I speake, that I may take breath: I will open my lippes, and will answere.
I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
21 I will not now accept the person of man, neyther will I giue titles to man.
Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
22 For I may not giue titles, lest my Maker should take me away suddenly.
For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
