1 And these three men ceased from answering Job, because he [was] righteous in his own eyes.10 Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me; I will declare my knowledge, even I.’11 Behold, I have waited for your⁺ words; I gave [my] ear to your⁺ reasonings, while you⁺ searched for the words.12 And to you⁺ I attended, and behold, there was no one proving Job wrong [or] answering his words among you⁺,13 lest you⁺ say, ‘We have found wisdom; let God drive him away, not man.’14 And he has not arrayed [his] words toward me, and I will not answer him with your⁺ words.15 They are dismayed, [and] do not answer anymore; the words have gone away from them.16 And I have waited, because they do not speak, because they stand there [and] do not answer anymore?17 I will answer—even I—my portion; I will show my knowledge—even I.18 For I am full of words; the spirit [in] my belly presses me.19 Behold, my belly [is] like wine not opened; like new wineskins, it is bursting open.2 But the anger of Elihu son of Barachel, the Buzite from the family of Ram, was kindled; his anger was kindled against Job, upon his justifying himself rather than God.20 I will speak, and there is refreshment for me; I will open my lips and answer.21 Do not, please, let me lift up the face of a man; and do not let me give a title to man.22 For I do not know how to give a title; soon my Maker would take me away.3 And his anger was kindled against his three friends, upon that they had not found an answer, and they had declared Job wrong.4 And Elihu had waited with words [to] Job, because they [were] older than he in days.5 And Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger was kindled.6 And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, “I [am] Young in days, and you⁺ [are] aged; upon thus I shrank back, and I was afraid of declaring my knowledge to you⁺.7 I said, “Days shall speak, and a multitude of years shall make known wisdom.’8 Surely it [is] a spirit in a man, and the breath of Shaddai gives them understanding.9 Not [only] the great [in years] [are] wise, nor do [only] the aged understand justice.
