18:032:002 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. 18:032:003 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. 18:032:004 Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he. 18:032:005 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled. 18:032:006 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. 18:032:007 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. 18:032:008 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. 18:032:009 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. 18:032:010 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion. 18:032:011 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say. 18:032:012 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words: 18:032:013 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man. 18:032:014 Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches. 18:032:015 They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking. 18:032:016 When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;) 18:032:017 I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion. 18:032:018 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me. 18:032:019 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles. 18:032:020 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer. 18:032:021 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man. 18:032:022 For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away. 18:033:001 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words. 18:033:002 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth. 18:033:003 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly. 18:033:004 The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. 18:033:005 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
