Elihu in Anger Rebukes Job

Job 32:1Then these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

Job 32:6

“I am young in years and you are old;
Therefore I was shy and afraid to tell you [fn]what I think.

Job 32:7

Job 32:7“I [fn]thought [fn]age should speak,
And [fn]increased years should teach wisdom.

And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.

Nor may elders understand justice.

I too will tell [fn]what I think.’

I listened to your reasonings,
While you [fn]pondered what to say.

Job 32:12

Job 32:12“I even paid close attention to you;
[fn]Indeed, there was no one who refuted Job,
Not one of you who answered his words.

Job 32:13

Job 32:13“Do not say,
‘We have found wisdom;
God will [fn]rout him, not man.’

Job 32:14

Job 32:14“For he has not arranged his words against me,
Nor will I reply to him with your [fn]arguments.

Job 32:15

Job 32:15“They are dismayed, they no longer answer;
Words have [fn]failed them.

Job 32:16

Job 32:16“Shall I wait, because they do not speak,
Because they [fn]stop and no longer answer?

Job 32:17

Job 32:17“I too will answer my share,
I also will tell my opinion.

Job 32:18

Job 32:18“For I am full of words;
The spirit within me constrains me.

Job 32:19

Job 32:19“Behold, my belly is like unvented wine,
Like new wineskins it is about to burst.

Job 32:20

Job 32:20“Let me speak that I may get relief;
Let me open my lips and answer.

Job 32:21

Job 32:21“Let me now be partial to no one,
Nor flatter any man.

Job 32:22

Else my Maker would soon take me away.
