Job 32 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

So Elihu ^H453 the son ^H1121 of Barachel ^H1292 the Buzite ^H940 [fn]spoke ^H6030 out ^H6030 and said ^H559,

“I am young ^H6810 in years ^H3117 and you are old ^H3453;

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 I was shy ^H2119 and afraid ^H3372 to tell ^H2331 you [fn]what ^H1843 I think ^H1843.

“I [fn]thought ^H559 [fn]age ^H3117 should speak ^H1696,

And [fn]increased ^H7230 years ^H8141 should teach ^H3045 wisdom ^H2451.

“But it is a spirit ^H7307 that is in mankind ^H582,

And the breath ^H5397 of the Almighty ^H7706 gives ^H995 them understanding ^H995.

“The [fn]abundant ^H7227 in years may not be ^H2449 wise ^H2449,

Nor ^H3808 may elders ^H2205 understand ^H995 justice ^H4941.

“So ^H3651 I [fn]say ^H559, ‘Listen ^H8085 to me,

I too ^H637 will tell ^H2331 [fn]what ^H1843 I think ^H1843.’

“Behold ^H2005, I waited ^H3176 for your words ^H1697,

I listened ^H238 to your skillful ^H8394 speech ^H8394,

While ^H5704 you [fn]pondered ^H2713 what ^H4405 to ^H4405 say ^H4405.

“I also paid ^H995 close ^H995 attention ^H995 to you;

But [fn]indeed ^H2009, there ^H369 was no ^H369 one ^H369 who refuted ^H3198 Job ^H347,

Not one of you who answered ^H6030 his words ^H561.

“So ^H6435 do ^H6435 not ^H6435 say ^H559,

‘We have found ^H4672 wisdom ^H2451:

God ^H410 will [fn]defeat ^H5086 him, not man ^H376.’

“But he has not presented ^H6186 his words ^H4405 against ^H413 me,

Nor ^H3808 will I reply ^H7725 to him with your [fn]arguments ^H561.

“They are dismayed ^H2865, they no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 answer ^H6030;

Words ^H4405 have [fn]failed ^H6275 them.

“Should I wait ^H3176, because ^H3588 they are not speaking ^H1696,

Because ^H3588 they have [fn]stopped ^H5975 and no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 answer ^H6030?

“I too ^H637 will [fn]give ^H6030 my share ^H2506 of answers ^H6030;

I also ^H637 will tell ^H2331 my opinion ^H1843.

“For I am full ^H4390 of words ^H4405;

The spirit ^H7307 within ^H990 me compels ^H6693 me.

“Behold ^H2009, my belly ^H990 is like unvented ^H3808 H6605 wine ^H3196;

Like new ^H2319 wineskins ^H178, it is about to burst ^H1234.

“Let me speak ^H1696 so that I may get ^H7304 relief ^H7304;

Let me open ^H6605 my lips ^H8193 and answer ^H6030.

“Let me be ^H5375 partial ^H5375 H6440 to no ^H408 one ^H376,

Nor ^H3808 flatter ^H3655 any man ^H120.

“For I do not know ^H3045 how to flatter ^H3655,

Otherwise my Maker ^H6213 would quickly ^H4592 take ^H5375 me away.
