| Job 32:1 | So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. | So these three men gave no more answers to Job, because he seemed to himself to be right. |
| Job 32:2 | 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. | 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; |
| Job 32:3 | Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. | 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. |
| Job 32:4 | Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he. | Now Elihu had kept quiet while Job was talking, because they were older than he; |
| Job 32:5 | When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled. | And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, he was very angry. |
| Job 32:6 | 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. | 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. |
| Job 32:7 | I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. | 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. |
| Job 32:8 | But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. | But truly it is the spirit in man, even the breath of the Ruler of all, which gives them knowledge. |
| Job 32:9 | Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. | It is not the old who are wise, and those who are full of years have not the knowledge of what is right. |
| Job 32:10 | Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion. | So I say, Give ear to me, and I will put forward my knowledge. |
| Job 32:11 | Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say. | I was waiting for your words, I was giving ear to your wise sayings; while you were searching out what to say, |
| Job 32:12 | Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words: | 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. |
| Job 32:13 | Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man. | Take care that you do not say, Wisdom is here; God may overcome him, but not man. |
| Job 32:14 | Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches. | I will not put forward words like these, or make use of your sayings in answer to him. |
| Job 32:15 | They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking. | Fear has overcome them, they have no more answers to give; they have come to an end of words. |
| Job 32:16 | When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;) | And am I to go on waiting while they have nothing to say? while they keep quiet and give no more answers? |
| Job 32:17 | I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion. | I will give my answer; I will put forward my knowledge: |
| Job 32:18 | For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me. | For I am full of words, I am unable to keep in my breath any longer: |
| Job 32:19 | Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles. | My stomach is like wine which is unable to get out; like skins full of new wine, it is almost burst. |
| Job 32:20 | I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer. | Let me say what is in my mind, so that I may get comfort; let me give answer with open mouth. |
| Job 32:21 | Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man. | Let me not give respect to any man, or give names of honour to any living. |
| Job 32:22 | For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away. | For I am not able to give names of honour to any man; and if I did, my Maker would quickly take me away. |
