Compare: Job 32

ASV

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

ASV

Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

ASV

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

ASV

Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he.

ASV

And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.

ASV

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion.

ASV

I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.

ASV

But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

ASV

It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice.

ASV

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

ASV

Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, Whilst ye searched out what to say.

ASV

Yea, I attended unto you, And, behold, there was none that convinced Job, Or that answered his words, among you.

ASV

Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man:

ASV

For he hath not directed his words against me; Neither will I answer him with your speeches.

ASV

They are amazed, they answer no more: They have not a word to say.

ASV

And shall I wait, because they speak not, Because they stand still, and answer no more?

ASV

I also will answer my part, I also will show mine opinion.

ASV

For I am full of words; The spirit within me constraineth me.

ASV

Behold, my breast is as wine which hath no vent; Like new wine-skins it is ready to burst.

ASV

I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.

ASV

Let me not, I pray you, respect any man’s person; Neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.

ASV

For I know not to give flattering titles; [Else] would my Maker soon take me away.
