1So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. 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. 3Also against his three companions was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. 4Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were older than he. 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 you{+} are very old; Therefore I held back, and didn't dare show you{+} my opinion. 7I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom. 8But there is a spirit in common man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding. 9It is not the great who are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice. 10Therefore I said, Listen to me; I also will show my opinion. 11Look, I waited for your{+} words, I listened for your{+} reasonings, While you{+} searched out what to say. 12Yes, I attended to you{+}, And, look, there was none who convinced Job, Or that answered his words, among you{+}. 13Beware you{+} don't say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man: 14For he has not directed his words against me; Neither will I answer him with your{+} speeches. 15They are amazed, they answer no more: They haven't a word to say. 16And shall I wait, because they don't speak, Because they stand still, and answer no more? 17I also will answer my part, I also will show my opinion. 18For I am full of words; The spirit inside me constrains me. 19Look, my breast is as wine which has no vent; Like blacksmith's bellows it is ready to burst. 20I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer. 21Don't let me, I pray you{+}, respect a man's person; Neither will I give flattering titles to any among man. 22For I don't know to give flattering titles; [Else] would my Maker soon take me away.
