< Job 32 >

1 And they ceased [the] three the men these from answering Job for he [was] righteous in own eyes his.
So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2 And it burned [the] anger of - Elihu [the] son of Barakel the Buzite from [the] clan of Ram on Job it burned anger his because justified he self his more than God.
This kindled the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram. He burned with anger against Job for justifying himself rather than God,
3 And on [the] three companions his it burned anger his on that not they had found an answer and they had condemned as guilty Job.
and he burned with anger against Job’s three friends because they had failed to refute Job, and yet had condemned him.
4 And Elihu he had waited Job in words for [were] old they more than him to days.
Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the others were older than he.
5 And he saw Elihu that there not [was] an answer in [the] mouth of [the] three the men and it burned anger his.
But when he saw that the three men had no further reply, his anger was kindled.
6 And he answered - Elihu [the] son of Barakel the Buzite and he said [am] young I to days and you [are] aged there-fore I was anxious and I was afraid - from telling knowledge my you.
So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite declared: “I am young in years, while you are old; that is why I was timid and afraid to tell you what I know.
7 I said days let them speak and abundance of years let them make known wisdom.
I thought that age should speak, and many years should teach wisdom.
8 Nevertheless [is the] spirit it in a person and [the] breath of [the] Almighty [which] it gives understanding them.
But there is a spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.
9 Not many [people] they are wise and old [people] they understand justice.
It is not only the old who are wise, or the elderly who understand justice.
10 Therefore I say listen! to me I will tell knowledge my also I.
Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me; I too will declare what I know.’
11 Here! I waited for words your I gave ear to understanding your until you searched for! words.
Indeed, I waited while you spoke; I listened to your reasoning; as you searched for words,
12 And to you I showed myself attentive and there! there not Job [was one who] rebuked [was one who] answered words his any of you.
I paid you full attention. But no one proved Job wrong; not one of you rebutted his arguments.
13 Lest you should say we have found wisdom God let him drive about him not a human.
So do not claim, ‘We have found wisdom; let God, not man, refute him.’
14 And not he has arranged against me words and with words your not I will respond to him.
But Job has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your arguments.
15 They are dismayed not they have answered again they have moved away from them words.
Job’s friends are dismayed, with no more to say; words have escaped them.
16 And will I wait? that not they speak that they have stood not they have answered again.
Must I wait, now that they are silent, now that they stand and no longer reply?
17 I will answer also I part my I will tell knowledge my also I.
I too will answer; yes, I will declare what I know.
18 For I am full words it has constrained me [the] spirit of belly my.
For I am full of words, and my spirit within me compels me.
19 Here! belly my [is] like wine [which] not it is opened like wineskins new it will be split open.
Behold, my belly is like unvented wine; it is about to burst like a new wineskin.
20 Let me speak and it may be relieved to me let me open lips my so I may answer.
I must speak and find relief; I must open my lips and respond.
21 May not please I lift up [the] face of anyone and to anyone not I will use flattery.
I will be partial to no one, nor will I flatter any man.
22 For not I know I will use flattery like a little he will carry away me [the one who] made me.
For I do not know how to flatter, or my Maker would remove me in an instant.
