Job:32
rsv@Job:32:1 @ So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
rsv@Job:32:2 @ Then Eli'hu the son of Bar'achel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, became angry. He was angry at Job because he justified himself rather than God;
rsv@Job:32:3 @ he was angry also at Job's three friends because they had found no answer, although they had declared Job to be in the wrong.
rsv@Job:32:4 @ Now Eli'hu had waited to speak to Job because they were older than he.
rsv@Job:32:5 @ And when Eli'hu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, he became angry.
rsv@Job:32:6 @ And Eli'hu the son of Bar'achel the Buzite answered: "I am young in years, and you are aged; therefore I was timid and afraid to declare my opinion to you.
rsv@Job:32:7 @ I said, `said, "Let days speak, and many years teach wisdom.'
rsv@Job:32:8 @ But it is the spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand.
rsv@Job:32:9 @ It is not the old that are wise, nor the aged that understand what is right.
rsv@Job:32:10 @ Therefore I say, `isten to me; let me also declare my opinion.'
rsv@Job:32:11 @ "Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your wise sayings, while you searched out what to say.
rsv@Job:32:12 @ I gave you my attention, and, behold, there was none that confuted Job, or that answered his words, among you.
rsv@Job:32:13 @ Beware lest you say, `ware lest you say, "We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man.'
rsv@Job:32:14 @ He has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your speeches.
rsv@Job:32:15 @ "They are discomfited, they answer no more; they have not a word to say.
rsv@Job:32:16 @ And shall I wait, because they do not speak, because they stand there, and answer no more?
rsv@Job:32:17 @ I also will give my answer; I also will declare my opinion.
rsv@Job:32:18 @ For I am full of words, the spirit within me constrains me.
rsv@Job:32:19 @ Behold, my heart is like wine that has no vent; like new wineskins, it is ready to burst.
rsv@Job:32:20 @ I must speak, that I may find relief; I must open my lips and answer.
rsv@Job:32:21 @ I will not show partiality to any person or use flattery toward any man.
rsv@Job:32:22 @ For I do not know how to flatter, else would my Maker soon put an end to me.
