Job 32
32
1So these three men ceased to answer Iyov [hated], because he [was] righteous in his own eyes.
2Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu [He is my God] the son of Barakh’el [God blesses] the Buzi [contempt], of the family of Ram [high or exalted]: against Iyov [hated] was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
3Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and [yet] had condemned Iyov [hated].
4Now Elihu [He is my God] had waited till Iyov [hated] had spoken, because they [were] elder than he.
5When Elihu [He is my God] saw that [there was] no answer in the mouth of [these] three men, then his wrath was kindled.
6And Elihu [He is my God] the son of Barakh’el [God blesses] the Buzi [contempt] answered and said, I [am] young, and you2f [are] very old; wherefore I was afraid, and dared (was bold enough) not show you my opinion.
7I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8But [there is] a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding.
9Great men are not [always] wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
10Therefore I said, Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.
11Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst you2f searched out what to say.
12Yes, I attended unto you, and, behold, [there was] none of you that convinced Iyov [hated], [or] that answered his words:
13Lest you2f should say, We have found out wisdom: God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] thrusts him down, not man.
14Now he has not directed [his] words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
16When I had waited, (for they spoke not, but stood still, [and] answered no more;)
17 [I said], I will answer also my part, I also will show my opinion.
18For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constrains me.
19Behold, my belly [is] as wine [which] has no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
20I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
21Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
22For I know not to give flattering titles; [in so doing] my maker would soon take me away.
