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? 17 I will answer—even I—my portion; I will show my knowledge—even I. 18 For I am full of words; the spirit in my belly presses me. 19 Behold, my belly is like wine not opened; like new wineskins, it is bursting open. 20 I will speak, and there is refreshment for me; I will open my lips and answer. 21 Do not, please, let me lift up the face of a man; and do not let me give a title to man. 22 For I do not know how to give a title; soon my Maker would take me away.
