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

4Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he.

4Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he.

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

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

5And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.

5And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.

6And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion.

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.

6And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answereth and saith: --Young I <FI>am<Fi> in days, and ye <FI>are<Fi> age Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of shewing you my opinion.

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

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

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

7I said: Days do speak, And multitude of years teach wisdom.

9It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice.

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

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

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

14And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your sayings I do not answer him.

15They are amazed, they answer no more: They have not a word to say.

15 They are amazed, they answer no more: They have not a word to say.

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

15(They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed from themselves words.

16And shall I wait, because they speak not, Because they stand still, and answer no more?

16And shall I wait, because they speak not, Because they stand still, and answer no more?

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

16And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered any more.)

17I also will answer my part, I also will show mine opinion.

17I also will answer my part, I also will show mine opinion.

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

18For I am full of words; The spirit within me constraineth me.

18For I am full of words; The spirit within me constraineth me.

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