Job Chapter 32 (KJV)
undefined
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
undefined
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
undefined
Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
undefined
Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
undefined
When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
undefined
And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.
undefined
I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
undefined
But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
undefined
Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
undefined
Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
undefined
Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
undefined
Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
undefined
Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
undefined
Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
undefined
They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
undefined
When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
undefined
I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
undefined
For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
undefined
Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
undefined
I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
undefined
Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
undefined
For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
