- 1. And these three men cease from answering Job, for he `is' righteous in his own eyes,
- 2. and 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;
- 3. and against his three friends hath his anger burned, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.
- 4. And Elihu hath waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.
- 5. And Elihu seeth that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burneth.
- 6. And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answereth and saith: -- Young I `am' in days, and ye `are' age Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of shewing you my opinion.
- 7. I said: Days do speak, And multitude of years teach wisdom.
- 8. Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Doth cause them to understand.
- 9. The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.
- 10. Therefore I have said: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion -- even I.
- 11. Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings.
- 12. And unto you I attend, And lo, there is no reasoner for Job, `Or' answerer of his sayings among you.
- 13. Lest ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him away, not man.
- 14. And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your sayings I do not answer him.
- 15. (They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed from themselves words.
- 16. And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered any more.)
- 17. I answer, even I -- my share, I shew my opinion -- even I.
- 18. For I have been full of words, Distressed me hath the spirit of my breast,
- 19. Lo, my breast `is' as wine not opened, Like new bottles it is broken up.
- 20. I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.
- 21. Let me not, I pray you, accept the face of any, Nor unto man give flattering titles,
- 22. For I have not known to give flattering titles, In a little doth my Maker take me away.
