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 was righteous in his own eyes.
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;
2Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
3and against his three friends hath his anger burned, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.
3Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4And Elihu hath waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.
4Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he.
5And Elihu seeth that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burneth.
5And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
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.
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.
7I said: Days do speak, And multitude of years teach wisdom.
7I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Doth cause them to understand.
8But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
9The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.
9It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice.
10Therefore I have said: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion--even I.
10Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show mine opinion.
11Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings.
11Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, Whilst ye searched out what to say.
12And unto you I attend, And lo, there is no reasoner for Job, <FI>Or<Fi> answerer of his sayings among you.
12Yea, I attended unto you, And, behold, there was none that convinced Job, Or that answered his words, among you.
13Lest ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him away, not man.
13Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man:
14And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your sayings I do not answer him.
14For he hath not directed his words against me; Neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15(They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed from themselves words.
15They are amazed, they answer no more: They have not a word to say.
16And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered any more.)
16And shall I wait, because they speak not, Because they stand still, and answer no more?
17I answer, even I--my share, I shew my opinion--even I.
17I also will answer my part, I also will show mine opinion.
18For I have been full of words, Distressed me hath the spirit of my breast,
18For I am full of words; The spirit within me constraineth me.
19Lo, my breast <FI>is<Fi> as wine not opened, Like new bottles it is broken up.
19Behold, my breast is as wine which hath no vent; Like new wine-skins it is ready to burst.
20I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.
20I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.
