Job Chapter 32
1 These three men ceased from answering Job because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2 The anger of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite of the family of Ram burned. His wrath burned against Job because he had justified himself rather than God.
3 His wrath was kindled against his three friends because they had found no answer and had condemned Job.
4 Elihu had waited beside Job with words because they were older than he.
5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
6 Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite said, I am young and you are very old. Therefore I was afraid and did not dare to show you my opinion.
7 I said, Days should speak and the multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8 But a spirit is in man giving perception, even the breath of the Almighty.
9 It is not always the great who are wise, nor the aged who understand judgment.
10 Therefore I say, Listen to me. I also will declare my opinion.
11 Behold, I waited for your words. I listened to your reasons while you searched out what to say.
12 Yes, I listened to you, and, behold, not one of you proved Job wrong nor answered his words.
13 You do not say we have found wisdom. God pushed him down, not man.
14 He has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your words.
15 They are broken. They no longer answer. Words have left them.
16 Shall I wait because you do not speak, because they stand still, no longer answering?
17 I also will answer my part. I also will declare my wisdom.
18 For I am full of words. The spirit within me presses on me.
19 Indeed⁺, my breast is like wine that has no vent. It bursts like new wineskins.
20 I will speak so that I may be refreshed. I will open my lips and answer.
21 I will not now lift up the face of a man nor eulogize any man,
22 For I do not know how to eulogize. Otherwise, after a little while my maker would take me away.
