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 kindred 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 till Job had spoken, because they [were] elder than he.

(Now Elihu had wayted til Iob had spoken: for they were more ancient in yeeres then he)

5 When Elihu saw that [there was] no answer in the mouth of [these] three men, then 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 was afraid, and durst not shew 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 [there is] a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

Surely there is a spirite in man, but the inspiration of the Almightie giueth vnderstanding.

9 Great men are not [always] wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

Great men are not alway wise, neither doe the aged alway vnderstand iudgement.

10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.

Therefore I say, Heare me, and I will shew also mine opinion.

11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to 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 of you that convinced Job, [or] that answered his words:

Yea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that reproued Iob, nor answered his wordes:

13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.

Lest ye should say, We haue found wisedome: for God hath cast him downe, and no man.

14 Now 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 were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.

Then they fearing, answered no more, but left off their talke.

16 When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, [and] answered no more; )

When I had wayted (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more)

17 [I said], I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.

Then answered I in my turne, and I shewed mine opinion.

18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

For I am full of matter, and the spirite within me compelleth me.

19 Behold, my belly [is] as wine [which] hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.

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 be refreshed: 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, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto 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; [in so doing] my maker would soon take me away.

For I may not giue titles, lest my Maker should take me away suddenly.
