* So these three men ceased to answer Job , because he was righteous in his own eyes . * 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 . * Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled , because they had found no answer ma #aneh #, and yet had condemned Job . * Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken , because they were elder zaqen # than he . * 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 #H3117 , and ye are very old ; wherefore I was afraid , and durst not shew you mine opinion . * I said , Days should speak , and multitude of years should teach wisdom . * But there is a spirit in man : and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding . * Great men are not always wise : neither do the aged understand judgment . * Therefore I said , Hearken to me ; I also will shew mine opinion . * Behold , I waited for your words ; I gave ear to your reasons , whilst ye searched out what to say . * Yea , I attended unto you , and , behold , there was none of you that convinced Job , or that answered his words : * Lest ye should say , We have found out wisdom : God thrusteth him down , not man . * Now he hath not directed his words against me : neither will I answer him with your speeches . * They were amazed , they answered no more : they left off speaking . * When I had waited , (for they spake not , but stood still , and answered no more ;) * I said , I will answer also my part , I also will shew mine opinion . * For I am full of matter , the spirit within me constraineth me . * Behold , my belly is as wine which hath no vent ; it is ready to burst like new bottles . * I will speak , that I may be refreshed : I will open my lips and answer . * Let me not , I pray you , accept any mans person , neither let me give flattering titles unto man . * For I know not to give flattering titles ; in so doing my maker would soon take me away .
