1 And these three men ceased from answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. 2 But the anger of Elihu son of Barachel, the Buzite from the family of Ram, was kindled; his anger was kindled against Job, upon his justifying himself rather than God. 3 And his anger was kindled against his three friends, upon that they had not found an answer, and they had declared Job wrong. 4 And Elihu had waited with words to Job, because they were older than he in days. 5 And Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger was kindled. 6 And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, “I am Young in days, and you? are aged; upon thus I shrank back, and I was afraid of declaring my knowledge to you?. 7 I said, “Days shall speak, and a multitude of years shall make known wisdom.’ 8 Surely it is a spirit in a man, and the breath of Shaddai gives them understanding. 9 Not only the great in years are wise, nor do only the aged understand justice. 10 Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me; I will declare my knowledge, even I.’ 11 Behold, I have waited for your? words; I gave my ear to your? reasonings, while you? searched for the words. 12 And to you? I attended, and behold, there was no one proving Job wrong or answering his words among you?, 13 lest you? say, ‘We have found wisdom; let God drive him away, not man.’ 14 And he has not arrayed his words toward me, and I will not answer him with your? words. 15 They are dismayed, and do not answer anymore; the words have gone away from them. 16 And I have waited, because they do not speak, because they stand there and do not answer anymore?
