      | ¶ | So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he [was] righteous in his own eyes. | |
| Then 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. | ||
| Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and [yet] had condemned Job. | ||
| ¶ | Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they [were] elder than he. | |
 | When Elihu saw that [there was] no answer in the mouth of [these] three men, then his wrath was kindled. | ||
| And 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. | ||
| I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. | ||
| But [there is] a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. | ||
| Great men are not [always] wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. | ||
| Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion. | ||
| Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say. | ||
| Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, [there was] none of you that convinced Job, [or] that answered his words: | ||
| Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man. | ||
| Now he hath not directed [his] words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches. | ||
| ¶ | They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking. | |
| When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, [and] answered no more;) | ||
| [I said], I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion. | ||
| For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me. | ||
| Behold, my belly [is] as wine [which] hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles. | ||
| I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer. | ||
| Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man. | ||
| For I know not to give flattering titles; [in so doing] my maker would soon take me away. |
