1And these three men cease from answering Job, for he <FI>is<Fi> righteous in his own eyes,

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

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;

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 hath his anger burned, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.

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

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

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

5And Elihu seeth that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burneth.

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

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.

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

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

8Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Doth cause them to understand.

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

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

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

10Therefore I have said: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion--even I.

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

11Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings.

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

12And unto you I attend, And lo, there is no reasoner for Job, <FI>Or<Fi> answerer of his sayings among you.

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.

13Lest ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him away, not man.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

17I answer, even I--my share, I shew my opinion--even I.

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

18For I have been full of words, Distressed me hath the spirit of my breast,

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

19Lo, my breast <FI>is<Fi> as wine not opened, Like new bottles it is broken up.

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

20I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I 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 the face of any, Nor unto man give flattering titles,

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

22For I have not known to give flattering titles, In a little doth my Maker take me away.

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