- 1. ¶ SO these three men who wanted to condemn Job ceased answering him, because he was found righteous in their eyes.
- 2. Then Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was angry; so his wrath against Job kindled, because he justified himself more than God.
- 3. His wrath also kindled against his three friends, because they had found no answer to Job so that they might condemn him.
- 4. Now Elihu had waited to correct Job with words, because the other men were older than he.
- 5. When Elihu saw that these three were unable to answer Job, then he was incensed.
- 6. ¶ And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, Because I am younger than you in days and you are old, therefore I was afraid, and did not dare to show you my knowledge.
- 7. For I said, Days should speak, and the multitude of years should teach wisdom.
- 8. Truly, there is a spirit in men; and the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.
- 9. It is not age that makes men wise; nor do the aged always understand judgment.
- 10. Therefore I say, Hearken to me; I also will show you my knowledge.
- 11. Behold, I kept silent while you spoke; I gave ear until you made an end of speaking, while you searched for words.
- 12. Yea, I understood your testimony, and, behold, there was none of you that could reprove Job, or that could answer his words,
- 13. So that you could not say, We have found wisdom. God has smitten him, not man.
- 14. Now Job has not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.
- 15. ¶ They were silent, they answered him no more; their words were all spent, so they held their peace;
- 16. They did not speak; they stood still, and answered him no more.
- 17. I will answer also on my part; I also will show my knowledge.
- 18. For I am full of words; the spirit within me constrains me.
- 19. Behold, I cannot restrain myself, nor can I find relief; I can no longer hold myself from talking.
- 20. I will speak so that I may find relief; I will open my lips and answer.
- 21. I will not be partial toward any person, neither will I be ashamed of the presence of any one.
- 22. For I do not know what shame is; else would my Almighty One soon take me away.
