Job 32
1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
So these three men ceased to answere Iob, because he esteemed himselfe iust.
2 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 justified himself rather than God.
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.
3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
Also his anger was kindled against his three friends, because they could not finde an answere, and yet condemned Iob.
4 Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were older than he.
(Now Elihu had wayted til Iob had spoken: for they were more ancient in yeeres then he)
5 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
So when Elihu saw, that there was none answere in the mouth of the three men, his wrath was kindled.
6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said: I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I held back, and durst not declare you mine opinion.
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.
7 I said: 'Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.'
For I said, The dayes shall speake, and the multitude of yeeres shall teach wisedome.
8 But it is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty, that giveth them understanding.
Surely there is a spirite in man, but the inspiration of the Almightie giueth vnderstanding.
9 It is not the great that are wise, nor the aged that discern judgment.
Great men are not alway wise, neither doe the aged alway vnderstand iudgement.
10 Therefore I say: 'Hearken to me; I also will declare mine opinion.'
Therefore I say, Heare me, and I will shew also mine opinion.
11 Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
Behold, I did waite vpon your wordes, and hearkened vnto your knowledge, whiles you sought out reasons.
12 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none that convinced Job, or that answered his words, among you.
Yea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that reproued Iob, nor answered his wordes:
13 Beware lest ye say: 'We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man!'
Lest ye should say, We haue found wisedome: for God hath cast him downe, and no man.
14 For he hath not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.
Yet hath he not directed his words to me, neyther will I answere him by your wordes.
15 They are amazed, they answer no more; words are departed from them.
Then they fearing, answered no more, but left off their talke.
16 And shall I wait, because they speak not, because they stand still, and answer no more?
When I had wayted (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more)
17 I also will answer my part, I also will declare mine opinion.
Then answered I in my turne, and I shewed mine opinion.
18 For I am full of words; the spirit within me constraineth me.
For I am full of matter, and the spirite within me compelleth me.
19 Behold, mine inwards are as wine which hath no vent; like new wine-skins which are ready to burst.
Beholde, my belly is as the wine, which hath no vent, and like the new bottels that brast.
20 I will speak, that I may find relief; I will open my lips and answer.
Therefore will I speake, that I may take breath: I will open my lippes, and will answere.
21 Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.
I will not now accept the person of man, neyther will I giue titles to man.
22 For I know not to give flattering titles; else would my Maker soon take me away.
For I may not giue titles, lest my Maker should take me away suddenly.
