Job 32

Previous chapter Index Next chapter
1 When those three husbands stopped responding to Job, because he was right in his own eyes,
2 Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachili, the Buzite of the tribe of Ram, was kindled: his wrath was kindled against Job because he justified himself more than God,
3 And his anger was kindled against his three friends because they did not find what to answer, and yet they accused Job.
4 Elihu waited until Job spoke, because they were older than he.
5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of those three husbands, then his wrath was kindled.

6th And Elihu the son of Bethachili answered, The Vizite, and said: I am young in years, and you are old men; So I was timid and afraid to tell you my opinion.
7th I said to myself: let the days speak, and the millennium teaches wisdom.
8 But the spirit in man and the breath of the Almighty give him understanding.
9 Not perennial [only] wise, and not the old people understand the truth.
10 So I say: listen to me, I will tell you my opinion and I.
eleven Behold, I waited for your words, -he listened to your judgments, as long as you thought out what to say.
12 I looked steadfastly at you, and here none of you convict Job and answer his words.
13 Do not say: we have found wisdom: God will refute it, and not man.
14 If he turned his words to me, I would not answer him with your speeches.

15 They were frightened, they did not answer anymore; Stopped talking.
16 And as I waited, but they did not speak, stopped and did not answer anymore,
17th Then I will answer from my side, declare my opinion and I,
18 For I am full of words, and the spirit within me presseth me.
19 Now, my womb is like an undiscovered wine: it is ready to break, like new furs.
20 I will talk, and it will be easier for me; I will open my mouth and answer.
21 On the person's face I will not look and I will not flatter any person,
22 Because I do not know how to flatter: now kill me, my Creator.
