Job 32:1-9 ▼

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.
