Job-32
Job 32
1
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2
Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled against Job. His wrath was kindled because he justified himself rather than #God.
3
Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4
Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were elder than he.
5
When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
6
Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered, "I am young, and you are very old; Therefore I held back, and didn't dare show you my opinion.
7
I said, 'Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.'
8
But there is a spirit in man, and the Spirit of the Almighty gives them understanding.
9
It is not the great who are wise, nor the aged who understand justice.
10
Therefore I said, 'Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.'
11
"Behold, I waited for your words, and I listened for your reasoning, while you searched out what to say.
12
Yes, I gave you my full attention, but there was no one who convinced Job, or who answered his words, among you.
13
Beware lest you say, 'We have found wisdom. #God may refute him, not man;'
14
for he has not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15
"They are amazed. They answer no more. They don't have a word to say.
16
Shall I wait, because they don't speak, because they stand still, and answer no more?
17
I also will answer my part, and I also will show my opinion.
18
For I am full of words. The spirit within me constrains me.
19
Behold, my breast is as wine which has no vent; like new wineskins it is ready to burst.
20
I will speak, that I may be refreshed. I will open my lips and answer.
21
Please don't let me respect any man's person, neither will I give flattering titles to any man.
22
For I don't know how to give flattering titles, or else my Maker would soon take me away.
