Job 32

<< Job 32 >>
King James Bible with Strong's Numbers
 

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
