Job 32:1-9 ▼

1 And these three men cease from answering Job, for he [is] righteous in his own eyes,

2 and the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite burns, of the family of Ram; his anger has burned against Job, because of his justifying himself more than God;

3 and his anger has burned against his three friends, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.

4 And Elihu has waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.

5 And Elihu sees that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burns.

6 And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answers and says: “I [am] young in days, and you [are] aged; Therefore I have feared, || And am afraid of showing you my opinion.

7 I said, Days speak, || And a multitude of years teach wisdom.

8 Surely a spirit is in man, || And the breath of the Mighty One || Causes them to understand.

9 The multitude are not wise, || Nor do the aged understand judgment.
