Job 32
1 So had these three men abstained from answering Job; because he was righteous in his own eyes.
So these three men ceased to answere Iob, because he esteemed himselfe iust.
2 Thereupon 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 had declared himself more righteous 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 And 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 held back toward Job [his] words; because the others were older in days than he.
(Now Elihu had wayted til Iob had spoken: for they were more ancient in yeeres then he)
5 But when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then was his wrath 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 commenced, and said, Young am I in days, and ye are very old: therefore I hesitated and feared to show you what I know.
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 had said, Days shall speak, and multitude of years shall make wisdom known.
For I said, The dayes shall speake, and the multitude of yeeres shall teach wisedome.
8 But it is the spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty which giveth them understanding.
Surely there is a spirite in man, but the inspiration of the Almightie giueth vnderstanding.
9 Not those rich in years must be always wise: neither do the aged constantly understand what is just.
Great men are not alway wise, neither doe the aged alway vnderstand iudgement.
10 Therefore do I say, Hearken to me: I also will show forth what I know myself.
Therefore I say, Heare me, and I will shew also mine opinion.
11 Behold, I waited for your words: I gave an attentive ear to your reasonings, till you might have searched out the [proper] words.
Behold, I did waite vpon your wordes, and hearkened vnto your knowledge, whiles you sought out reasons.
12 And now I understand you fully, and, behold, there is none that convinceth Job, or, that answereth his speeches among you.
Yea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that reproued Iob, nor answered his wordes:
13 Say then not, We have found wisdom: God will thrust him down, not man.
Lest ye should say, We haue found wisedome: for God hath cast him downe, and no man.
14 But he hath not directed any words against me: and with your speeches will I not answer him.
Yet hath he not directed his words to me, neyther will I answere him by your wordes.
15 They are dismayed, they answer no more: words have escaped away from them.
Then they fearing, answered no more, but left off their talke.
16 And should I wait [longer], because they cannot speak, because they stand stilt and answer no more?
When I had wayted (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more)
17 [But] I also will surely answer my part, I myself also will show forth what I know;
Then answered I in my turne, and I shewed mine opinion.
18 For I am full of words, the spirit in my bosom urgeth me hard.
For I am full of matter, and the spirite within me compelleth me.
19 Behold, my bosom is like [fresh] wine which hath not been opened: like new bottles it is 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 breathe freer: 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 On no account will I show undue favor to any man, and to no son of earth will I give flattering titles.
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; [for else] my Maker would speedily carry me away.
For I may not giue titles, lest my Maker should take me away suddenly.
