1And these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

1So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he seemed just to himself.

2Then was kindled the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his anger kindled, because he justified himself rather thanGod;

2And Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite of the kindred of Ram, was angry and was moved to indignation: now he was angry against Job, because he said he was just before God.

3and against his three friends was his anger kindled, because they found no answer, and [yet] condemned Job.

3And he was angry with his friends, because they had not found a reasonable answer, but only had condemned Job.

4But Elihu had waited till Job had finished speaking, because they were older than he.

4So Eliu waited while Job was speaking because they were his elders that were speaking.

5And Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger was kindled.

5But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was exceedingly angry.

6And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are aged; wherefore I was timid, and feared to shew you what I know.

6Then Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered, and said: I am younger in days, and you are more ancient, therefore hanging down my head, I was afraid to shew you my opinion.

7I said, Let days speak, and multitude of years teach wisdom.

7For I hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.

8But there is a spirit which is in man; and the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

8But, as I see, there is a spirit in men, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding.

9It is not the great that are wise; neither do the aged understand judgment.

9They that are aged are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgment.

10Therefore I say, Hearken to me; I also will shew what I know.

10Therefore I will speak: Hearken to me, I also will shew you my wisdom.

11Lo, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasonings, until ye searched out what to say.

11For I have waited for your words, I have given ear to your wisdom, as long as you were disputing in words.

12Yea, I gave you mine attention, and behold, there was none of you that confuted Job, that answered his words;

12And as long as I thought you said some thing, I considered: but, as I see, there is none of you that can convince Job, and answer his words.

13That ye may not say, We have found out wisdom;God will make him yield, not man.

13Lest you should say: We have found wisdom, God hath cast him down, not man.

14Now he hath not directed [his] words against me; and I will not answer him with your speeches. ...

14He hath spoken nothing to me, and I will not answer him according to your words.

15They were amazed, they answered no more; words failed them.

15They were afraid, and answered no more, and they left off speaking.

16And I waited, for they spoke not, but stood still, and answered no more; —

16Therefore because I have waited, and they have not spoken: they stood, and answered no more:

17I will answer, I also in my turn, I also will shew what I know:

17I also will answer my part, and will shew my knowledge.

18For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

18For I am full of matter to speak of, and the spirit of my bowels straiteneth me.

19Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; like new flasks, it is ready to burst.

19Behold, my belly is as new wine which wanteth vent, which bursteth the new vessels.

20I will speak, that I may find relief; I will open my lips and answer.

20I will speak and take breath a little: I will open my lips, and will answer.

21Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person; neither will I give flattery to man.

21I will not accept the person of man, and I will not level God with man.

22For I know not how to flatter; my Maker would soon take me away.

22For I know not how long I shall continue, and whether after a while my Maker may take me away.
