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