Job 32
1 So these three men ceased to respond to Job, because, he, was righteous in their eyes.
So these three men ceased to answere Iob, because he esteemed himselfe iust.
2 Then was kindled the anger of Elihu, son of Barachel the Buzite of the family of Ram, —against Job, was kindled his anger, because he justified his own soul 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 and, against his three friends, was kindled his anger, —because that they found not a response, and condemned God.
Also his anger was kindled against his three friends, because they could not finde an answere, and yet condemned Iob.
4 But, Elihu, had waited for Job with words, because the others were older than he.
(Now Elihu had wayted til Iob had spoken: for they were more ancient in yeeres then he)
5 Howbeit, when Elihu saw that there was no response in the mouth of the three men, then was kindled his anger.
So when Elihu saw, that there was none answere in the mouth of the three men, his wrath was kindled.
6 So then Elihu, son of Barachel, the Buzite, responded and said: —Young, am I, whereas, ye, are aged, For this cause, I faltered, and feared—to shew my knowledge unto you:
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, the multitude of years, should make known wisdom.
For I said, The dayes shall speake, and the multitude of yeeres shall teach wisedome.
8 Yet surely, there is a spirit in men, 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, may not be wise, nor, elders, understand justice.
Great men are not alway wise, neither doe the aged alway vnderstand iudgement.
10 Therefore, I said, Hearken unto me, I will show my knowledge—even I.
Therefore I say, Heare me, and I will shew also mine opinion.
11 Lo! I waited for your words, I kept giving ear for your reasons, until ye should search out what to say;
Behold, I did waite vpon your wordes, and hearkened vnto your knowledge, whiles you sought out reasons.
12 Yea, unto you, gave I diligent heed, —But lo! there was, for Job, nothing to convince, nor could you of you answer his speeches.
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, must put him to flight, not man.
Lest ye should say, We haue found wisedome: for God hath cast him downe, and no man.
14 Since he directed not to me discourse, therefore, with your speeches, will I not reply to him.
Yet hath he not directed his words to me, neyther will I answere him by your wordes.
15 They were dismayed, they responded no more, they suffered speech to forsake them;
Then they fearing, answered no more, but left off their talke.
16 Though I waited, yet could they not speak, Surely they came to a stand, they responded no more.
When I had wayted (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more)
17 I will respond, even I—on my part, I will shew my knowledge, even I!
Then answered I in my turne, and I shewed mine opinion.
18 For I am full of discourse, The spirit in my bosom, presseth me on.
For I am full of matter, and the spirite within me compelleth me.
19 Lo! my bosom, is like wine not opened, Like new wine-skins, it will 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 freely breathe, I will open my lips and respond.
Therefore will I speake, that I may take breath: I will open my lippes, and will answere.
21 Let me be partial to no man, and, unto no son of earth, give flattering titles,
I will not now accept the person of man, neyther will I giue titles to man.
22 Surely I know not how to give flattering titles, How soon might my Maker take me away!
For I may not giue titles, lest my Maker should take me away suddenly.
