Par 

1 So these three men ceassed to aunswere Iob, because he held him selfe a righteous man.

2 But Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the kinred of Ram, was very sore displeased at Iob, because he called hym selfe iust before God.

3 And with Iobs three friendes he was angry also, because they had founde no reasonable aunswere, and yet condempned Iob.

4 Nowe taried Elihu, till they had ended their comunication with Iob: for why? they were elder then he.

5 So when Elihu sawe that these three men were not able to make Iob aunswere, he was miscontent.

6 Therfore Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite aunswered, and sayde: Considering that I am young, and ye be men of age, I was afrayde, and durst not shewe foorth my mynde.

7 For I thought thus within my selfe: It becommeth old men to speake, and the aged to teache wysdome.
