Job 32
1 So these three men ceased to answere Iob, because he esteemed himselfe iust.
And these three men cease from answering Job, for he [is] 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.
and the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite burns, of the family of Ram; his anger has burned against Job, because of his justifying himself more than God;
3 Also his anger was kindled against his three friends, because they could not finde an answere, and yet condemned Iob.
and his anger has burned against his three friends, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.
4 (Now Elihu had wayted til Iob had spoken: for they were more ancient in yeeres then he)
And Elihu has waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.
5 So when Elihu saw, that there was none answere in the mouth of the three men, his wrath was kindled.
And Elihu sees that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burns.
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 son of Barachel the Buzite answers and says: “I [am] young in days, and you [are] aged; Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of showing you my opinion.
7 For I said, The dayes shall speake, and the multitude of yeeres shall teach wisedome.
I said, Days speak, And a multitude of years teach wisdom.
8 Surely there is a spirite in man, but the inspiration of the Almightie giueth vnderstanding.
Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Causes them to understand.
9 Great men are not alway wise, neither doe the aged alway vnderstand iudgement.
The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.
10 Therefore I say, Heare me, and I will shew also mine opinion.
Therefore I have said: Listen to me, I show my opinion—even I.
11 Behold, I did waite vpon your wordes, and hearkened vnto your knowledge, whiles you sought out reasons.
Behold, I have waited for your words, I give ear to your reasons, Until you search out sayings.
12 Yea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that reproued Iob, nor answered his wordes:
And to you I attend, And behold, there is no reasoner for Job, [Or] answerer of his sayings among you.
13 Lest ye should say, We haue found wisedome: for God hath cast him downe, and no man.
Lest you say, We have found wisdom, God thrusts him away, not man.
14 Yet hath he not directed his words to me, neyther will I answere him by your wordes.
And he has not set words in array for me, And I do not answer him with your sayings.
15 Then they fearing, answered no more, but left off their talke.
(They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed words from themselves.
16 When I had wayted (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more)
And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered anymore.)
17 Then answered I in my turne, and I shewed mine opinion.
I answer, even I—my share, I show my opinion—even I.
18 For I am full of matter, and the spirite within me compelleth me.
For I have been full of words, The spirit of my breast has distressed me,
19 Beholde, my belly is as the wine, which hath no vent, and like the new bottels that brast.
Behold, my breast [is] as wine not opened, It is broken up like new bottles.
20 Therefore will I speake, that I may take breath: I will open my lippes, and will answere.
I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.
21 I will not now accept the person of man, neyther will I giue titles to man.
Please do not let me accept the face of any, Nor give flattering titles to man,
22 For I may not giue titles, lest my Maker should take me away suddenly.
For I have not known to give flattering titles, My Maker takes me away in a little.”
