Job 32:1-7 ▼

1 Then these three men ceased answering Job because he was righteous in his own eyes.

2 But the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, burned; against Job his anger burned because he was proving himself righteous before God.

3 And his anger burned against his three friends because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

4 Now Elihu had waited with his words for Job because they were years older than he.

5 Then Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, so his anger burned.

6 So Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, “I am young in years and you are old; Therefore I was shy and afraid to tell you my knowledge.

7 I thought age should speak, And increased years should make wisdom known.
