Job 32 - KJV 1611

Chapter 32
1: So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
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.
3: Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4: Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
5: When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
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.
7: I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8: But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
9: Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
10: Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
11: Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
12: Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
13: Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
14: Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15: They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
16: When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
17: I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
18: For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
19: Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
20: I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
21: Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
22: For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
