Then Elihu, the son of Barachel, a descendant of Buz, from the clan of Ram, became very angry at Job. He was angry because Job continued to claim that he was righteous/innocent, and that God was wrong [to punish him].

3 and in/on/with three neighbor his to be incensed face: anger his upon which not to find answer and be wicked [obj] Job

He was also angry with Job’s three friends, because they had declared that Job must have done many things that were wrong, but they were unable to convince Job [that what they said was true]. As a result, [it seemed to Elihu that] God did what was wrong by punishing Job.

4 and Elihu to wait [obj] Job in/on/with word: speaking for old they(masc.) from him to/for day: old

Elihu was younger than the others, so he waited [until they had finished speaking] before he replied to Job.

5 and to see: see Elihu for nothing answer in/on/with lip three [the] human and to be incensed face: anger his

But when Elihu realized that the three men had no more to say [MTY] to Job, he became angry.

And this is what he said: “I am young, and you all are much older than I am. So, I was timid, and I was afraid to tell you what I was thinking.

7 to say day to speak: speak and abundance year to know wisdom

I thought, ‘Let those [PRS] who are much older speak, because older people [should be able to] say things that are wise.’

8 surely spirit he/she/it in/on/with human and breath Almighty to understand them

But the Spirit of Almighty [God] is within people, and it is he who enables them to be wise.

9 not many be wise and old to understand justice

It is not people becoming old that enables them to be wise; not [all] old people understand what is right.

“So, I say, ‘Listen to me, and allow me to say what I think.’

11 look! to wait: wait to/for word your to listen till understanding your till to search [emph?] speech

I waited for you all to speak; I wanted to hear the wise things that you would say. I waited while you thought carefully about what [would be the right things] to say.

12 and till you to understand and behold nothing to/for Job to rebuke to answer word his from you

I paid attention carefully, but surprisingly, none of you were able to prove that what Job said was wrong.

13 lest to say to find wisdom God to drive him not man

So, do not say [to yourselves], ‘We have discovered what is wise!’ It is God who must (refute Job/show that what Job said was wrong), because you three have not been able to do that.

14 and not to arrange to(wards) me speech and in/on/with word your not to return: reply him

Job was replying to you, [not to me], but I will not reply to him by saying what you three said.

15 to to be dismayed not to answer still to proceed from them speech

“You three are dismayed [because you have not been able to convince him that he was wrong], so you are not saying any more to him [DOU].

16 and to wait: wait for not to speak: speak for to stand: stand not to answer still

But because you do not speak, I certainly will not wait any longer [RHQ]; you merely stand there and do not reply any more.

So [now] I also will reply [to Job] and say what I think.

I have plenty to say, and my spirit compels me to say it.

19 behold belly: abdomen my like/as wine not to open like/as medium new to break up/open

My inner being is like [SIM] a (wineskin/bag that has (new/fermenting) wine in it), and it will soon burst.

20 to speak: speak and be wide to/for me to open lips my and to answer

I must speak [MTY], in order that I do not have to keep holding what I want to say; I must say something [MTY] to reply [to you all].

21 not please to lift: kindness face: kindness man: anyone and to(wards) man not to flatter

I will speak [fairly], not favoring any of you, and I will not try to flatter anyone.

22 for not to know to flatter like/as little to lift: bear me to make me

I [really] do not know how to flatter people; and if I did that, God would soon get rid of me.”
