| Job 32:1 | So these three men gave no more answers to Job, because he seemed to himself to be right. | So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. |
| Job 32:2 | And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was angry, burning with wrath against Job, because he seemed to himself more right than God; | Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God. |
| Job 32:3 | And he was angry with his three friends, because they had been unable to give him an answer, and had not made Job's sin clear. | Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. |
| Job 32:4 | Now Elihu had kept quiet while Job was talking, because they were older than he; | Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he. |
| Job 32:5 | And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, he was very angry. | And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled. |
| Job 32:6 | And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, made answer and said, I am young, and you are very old, so I was in fear, and kept myself from putting my knowledge before you. | And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion. |
| Job 32:7 | I said to myself, It is right for the old to say what is in their minds, and for those who are far on in years to give out wisdom. | I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom. |
| Job 32:8 | But truly it is the spirit in man, even the breath of the Ruler of all, which gives them knowledge. | But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding. |
| Job 32:9 | It is not the old who are wise, and those who are full of years have not the knowledge of what is right. | It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice. |
| Job 32:10 | So I say, Give ear to me, and I will put forward my knowledge. | Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show mine opinion. |
| Job 32:11 | I was waiting for your words, I was giving ear to your wise sayings; while you were searching out what to say, | Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, Whilst ye searched out what to say. |
| Job 32:12 | I was taking note; and truly not one of you was able to make clear Job's error, or to give an answer to his words. | Yea, I attended unto you, And, behold, there was none that convinced Job, Or that answered his words, among you. |
| Job 32:13 | Take care that you do not say, Wisdom is here; God may overcome him, but not man. | Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man: |
| Job 32:14 | I will not put forward words like these, or make use of your sayings in answer to him. | For he hath not directed his words against me; Neither will I answer him with your speeches. |
| Job 32:15 | Fear has overcome them, they have no more answers to give; they have come to an end of words. | They are amazed, they answer no more: They have not a word to say. |
| Job 32:16 | And am I to go on waiting while they have nothing to say? while they keep quiet and give no more answers? | And shall I wait, because they speak not, Because they stand still, and answer no more? |
| Job 32:17 | I will give my answer; I will put forward my knowledge: | I also will answer my part, I also will show mine opinion. |
| Job 32:18 | For I am full of words, I am unable to keep in my breath any longer: | For I am full of words; The spirit within me constraineth me. |
| Job 32:19 | My stomach is like wine which is unable to get out; like skins full of new wine, it is almost burst. | Behold, my breast is as wine which hath no vent; Like new wine-skins it is ready to burst. |
| Job 32:20 | Let me say what is in my mind, so that I may get comfort; let me give answer with open mouth. | I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer. |
| Job 32:21 | Let me not give respect to any man, or give names of honour to any living. | Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; Neither will I give flattering titles unto any man. |
| Job 32:22 | For I am not able to give names of honour to any man; and if I did, my Maker would quickly take me away. | For I know not to give flattering titles; [Else] would my Maker soon take me away. |
