UKJV - Job - 32

32:1  So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

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.

32:3  Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

32:4  Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.

32:5  When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.

32:6  And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and all of you are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not show you mine opinion.

32:7  I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.

32:8  But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding.

32:9  Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

32:10  Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show mine opinion.

32:11  Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst all of you searched out what to say.

32:12  Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:

32:13  Lest all of you should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusts him down, not man.

32:14  Now he has not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.

32:15  They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.

32:16  When I had waited, (for they spoke not, but stood still, and answered no more;)

32:17  I said, I will answer also my part, I also will show mine opinion.

32:18  For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constrains me.

32:19  Behold, my belly is as wine which has no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.

32:20  I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.

32:21  Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.

32:22  For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
