Job 32 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Elihu in Anger Rebukes Job

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

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

Job 32:3

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

Job 32:4

Job 32:4Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he.

Job 32:5

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

Job 32:6

Job 32:6And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said,

I am young, and ye are very old;

Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion.

Job 32:7

I said, Days should speak,

And multitude of years should teach wisdom.

Job 32:8

But there is a spirit in man,

And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

Job 32:9

It is not the great that are wise,

Nor the aged that understand justice.

Job 32:10

Therefore I said, Hearken to me;

I also will show mine opinion.

Job 32:11

Behold, I waited for your words,

I listened for your reasonings,

Whilst ye searched out what to say.

Job 32:12

Yea, I attended unto you,

And, behold, there was none that convinced Job,

Or that answered his words, among you.

Job 32:13

Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom;

God may vanquish him, not man:

Job 32:14

For he hath not directed his words against me;

Neither will I answer him with your speeches.

Job 32:15

They are amazed, they answer no more:

They have not a word to say.

Job 32:16

And shall I wait, because they speak not,

Because they stand still, and answer no more?

Job 32:17

I also will answer my part,

I also will show mine opinion.

Job 32:18

For I am full of words;

The spirit within me constraineth me.

Job 32:19

Behold, my breast is as wine which hath no vent;

Like new wine-skins it is ready to burst.

Job 32:20

I will speak, that I may be refreshed;

I will open my lips and answer.

Job 32:21

Let me not, I pray you, respect any man’s person;

Neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.

Job 32:22

For I know not to give flattering titles;

Else would my Maker soon take me away.
