Job Chapter 32

Young's Literal Translation

   1: And these three men cease from answering Job, for he [is] righteous in his own eyes,
   2: and burn doth the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job hath his anger burned, because of his justifying himself more than God;
   3: and against his three friends hath his anger burned, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.
   4: And Elihu hath waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.
   5: And Elihu seeth that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burneth.
   6: And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answereth and saith: -- Young I [am] in days, and ye [are] age Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of shewing you my opinion.
   7: I said: Days do speak, And multitude of years teach wisdom.
   8: Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Doth cause them to understand.
   9: The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.
   10: Therefore I have said: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion -- even I.
   11: Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings.
   12: And unto you I attend, And lo, there is no reasoner for Job, [Or] answerer of his sayings among you.
   13: Lest ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him away, not man.
   14: And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your sayings I do not answer him.
   15: (They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed from themselves words.
   16: And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered any more.)
   17: I answer, even I -- my share, I shew my opinion -- even I.
   18: For I have been full of words, Distressed me hath the spirit of my breast,
   19: Lo, my breast [is] as wine not opened, Like new bottles it is broken up.
   20: I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.
   21: Let me not, I pray you, accept the face of any, Nor unto man give flattering titles,
   22: For I have not known to give flattering titles, In a little doth my Maker take me away.
