Job 32

1. (Job 32:1) So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2. (Job 32:2) 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.
3. (Job 32:3) Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4. (Job 32:4) Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
5. (Job 32:5) When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
6. (Job 32:6) 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.
7. (Job 32:7) I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8. (Job 32:8) But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
9. (Job 32:9) Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
10. (Job 32:10) Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
11. (Job 32:11) Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
12. (Job 32:12) Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
13. (Job 32:13) Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
14. (Job 32:14) Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15. (Job 32:15) They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
16. (Job 32:16) When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
17. (Job 32:17) I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
18. (Job 32:18) For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
19. (Job 32:19) Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
20. (Job 32:20) I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
21. (Job 32:21) Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
22. (Job 32:22) For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
