32Job 32

1So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.Select Job 32:1

2Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.Select Job 32:2

3Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.Select Job 32:3

4Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.Select Job 32:4

5When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.Select Job 32:5

6And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.Select Job 32:6

7I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.Select Job 32:7

8But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.Select Job 32:8

9Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.Select Job 32:9

10Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.Select Job 32:10

11Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.Select Job 32:11

12Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:Select Job 32:12

13Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.Select Job 32:13

14Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.Select Job 32:14

15They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.Select Job 32:15

16When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)Select Job 32:16

17I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.Select Job 32:17

18For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.Select Job 32:18

19Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.Select Job 32:19

20I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.Select Job 32:20

21Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.Select Job 32:21

22For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.Select Job 32:22
