Job 31

The Book of Job

Return to Index.

Chapter 32

1

So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

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 ELOHIYM.

3

Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

4

Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.

5

When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.

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

I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.

8

But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the SHADDAY giveth them understanding.

9

Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

10

Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.

11

Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.

12

Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:

13

Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: EL thrusteth him down, not man.

14

Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.

15

They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.

16

When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)

17

I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.

18

For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

19

Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.

20

I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.

21

Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.

22

For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.

Job 33
