* And these three men ceased from answering Job , because he [was ] righteous in his own eyes . * And burned the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite , of the family of Ram . His wrath burned against Job , because he had justified himself rather than God . * Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends , because they had found no answer and had condemned Job . * And Elihu had waited beside Job with words , because they [were ] older than he in days . * When Elihu saw that there [was ] no answer in the mouth of these three men , then his wrath was kindled . * And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said , I [am ] young , and you [are ] very old ; therefore I was afraid , and dared not show you my opinion . * I said , Days should speak , and the multitude of years should teach wisdom . * But a spirit [is ] in man giving them perception , even the breath of the Almighty . * [It is ] not the great that are wise , nor the aged who understand judgment . * Therefore I say , Listen to me . I also will declare my opinion . * Behold , I waited for your words ; I listened to your reasons , while you searched out what to say . * Yes , I listened to you , and , behold , not one of you proved Job wrong [nor ] answered his words , * that you do not say , We have found out wisdom . God has pushed him down , not man . * And he has not directed his words against me ; and I will not answer him with your words . * They are broken ; they answer no more ; words have left them . * Shall I wait because you do not speak , because they stand still , answering no more ? * I also will answer my part ; I also will declare my wisdom . * For I am full of words ; the spirit within me presses on me . * Behold , my breast [is ] as wine which has no vent ; it bursts like new wineskins . * I will speak so that I may be refreshed ; I will open my lips and answer . * I will not now lift up the face of a man , nor eulogize [any ] man , * For I do not know how to eulogize ; else after a little my Maker would take me away .
