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 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;
3 Also his anger was kindled against his three friends, because they could not finde an answere, and yet condemned Iob.
and against his three friends hath his anger burned, 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 hath 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 seeth that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burneth.
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 answereth and saith: — Young I [am] in days, and ye [are] age Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of shewing you my opinion.
7 For I said, The dayes shall speake, and the multitude of yeeres shall teach wisedome.
I said: Days do speak, And 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 Doth cause 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: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion — even I.
11 Behold, I did waite vpon your wordes, and hearkened vnto your knowledge, whiles you sought out reasons.
Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings.
12 Yea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that reproued Iob, nor answered his wordes:
And unto you I attend, And lo, 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 ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him away, not man.
14 Yet hath he not directed his words to me, neyther will I answere him by your wordes.
And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your sayings I do not answer him.
15 Then they fearing, answered no more, but left off their talke.
(They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed from themselves words.
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 any more.)
17 Then answered I in my turne, and I shewed mine opinion.
I answer, even I — my share, I shew 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, Distressed me hath the spirit of my breast,
19 Beholde, my belly is as the wine, which hath no vent, and like the new bottels that brast.
Lo, my breast [is] as wine not opened, Like new bottles it is broken up.
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.
Let me not, I pray you, accept the face of any, Nor unto man give flattering titles,
22 For I may not giue titles, lest my Maker should take me away suddenly.
For I have not known to give flattering titles, In a little doth my Maker take me away.
