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 family of Ram; against Job was his wrath kindled, because he accounted himself righteous rather than God.
3 Also his anger was kindled against his three friends, because they could not finde an answere, and yet condemned Iob.
Against his three friends also was his wrath kindled, because they had not found an 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 delayed to reply to Job, because they were older than himself.
5 So when Elihu saw, that there was none answere in the mouth of the three men, his wrath was kindled.
But when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, 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.
Then spake Elihu, the son of Barachel, the Buzite, and said: I am young, and ye are very old; Therefore I was afraid, And durst not make known to you my opinion.
7 For I said, The dayes shall speake, and the multitude of yeeres shall teach wisedome.
I said, “Days should speak, And the multitude of years should teach wisdom.”
8 Surely there is a spirite in man, but the inspiration of the Almightie giueth vnderstanding.
But it is the spirit in man, Even the inspiration of the Almighty, that giveth him understanding.
9 Great men are not alway wise, neither doe the aged alway vnderstand iudgement.
Great men are not always wise, Nor do the aged always understand what is right.
10 Therefore I say, Heare me, and I will shew also mine opinion.
Therefore, I pray, listen to me: I also will declare my opinion.
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 have listened to your arguments, 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 have attended to you; And behold, none of you hath refuted Job, Nor answered his words.
13 Lest ye should say, We haue found wisedome: for God hath cast him downe, and no man.
Say not, then, “We have found out wisdom; God must conquer him, not man.”
14 Yet hath he not directed his words to me, neyther will I answere him by your wordes.
He hath not directed his discourse against me, And with speeches like yours will I not answer him.
15 Then they fearing, answered no more, but left off their talke.
They were confounded! they answered no more! They could say nothing!
16 When I had wayted (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more)
I waited, but they spake not; They stood still; they answered no more!
17 Then answered I in my turne, and I shewed mine opinion.
Therefore will I answer, on my part; I also will show my 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 bosom is as wine that hath no vent; Like bottles of new wine, which are bursting.
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 relieved; I will open my lips and answer.
21 I will not now accept the person of man, neyther will I giue titles to man.
I will not be partial to any man's person, Nor will I flatter any man.
22 For I may not giue titles, lest my Maker should take me away suddenly.
For I know not how to flatter; Soon would my Maker take me away.
