Elihu Answers in Anger

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:1 -

Then these three men ceased answering Job because he was righteous in his own eyes.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:2 - But the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, burned; against Job his anger burned because he was proving himself righteous [fn]before God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:3 - And his anger burned against his three friends because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:4 - Now Elihu had waited with his words for Job because they were years older than he.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:5 - Then Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, so his anger burned.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:6 -

So Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said,

“I am young in years and you are old;

Therefore I was shy and afraid to tell you my knowledge.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:7 -

“I [fn]thought [fn]age should speak,

And [fn]increased years should make wisdom known.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:8 -

“But it is a spirit in man,

And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:9 -

“The [fn]abundant in years may not be wise,

Nor may elders understand justice.

“So I [fn]say, ‘Listen to me,

I too will tell my knowledge.’

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:11 -

“Behold, I waited for your words,

I gave ear to your reasonings,

While you searched out what to say.

“I even carefully considered you;

And behold, there was no one who reproved Job,

Not one of you who answered his words.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:13 -

“Lest you say,

‘We have found wisdom;

God will drive him away, not man.’

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:14 -

“Now he has not arranged his words against me,

Nor will I respond to him with your words.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:15 -

“They are dismayed; they no longer answer;

Words have moved away from them.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:16 -

“Shall I wait, because they do not speak,

Because they stand still and no longer answer?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:17 -

“I myself will also answer my share;

I also will tell my knowledge.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:18 -

“For I am full of words;

The spirit within my belly presses me.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:19 -

“Behold, my belly is like unvented wine, not opened;

Like new wineskins it is about to burst.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:20 -

“Let me speak that I may get relief;

Let me open my lips and answer.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:21 -

“Let me now be partial to no one,

Nor flatter any man.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:22 -

“For I do not know how to flatter,

Else my Maker would soon carry me away.
