S<\/span>o these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n 2<\/sup>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.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>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.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.<\/span> <\/p>\n 18<\/sup>For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 19<\/sup>Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.<\/span> <\/p>\n 20<\/sup>I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.<\/span> <\/p>\n 21<\/sup>Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.<\/span> <\/p>\n 22<\/sup>For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.<\/span> <\/p>\n
