1. So these H428 three H7969 men H376 ceased H7673 to answer H4480 H6030 H853 Job H347 , because H3588 he H1931 was righteous H6662 in his own eyes H5869 .
|
1. So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

|
2. Then was kindled H2734 the wrath H639 of Elihu H453 the son H1121 of Barachel H1292 the Buzite H940 , of the kindred H4480 H4940 of Ram H7410 : against Job H347 was his wrath H639 kindled H2734 , because H5921 he justified H6663 himself H5315 rather than God H4480 H430 .
|
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 H7969 friends H7453 was his wrath H639 kindled H2734 , because H5921 H834 they had found H4672 no H3808 answer H4617 , and yet had condemned H7561 H853 Job H347 .
|
3. Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
|
|
4. Now Elihu H453 had waited H2442 till H853 Job H347 had spoken H1697 , because H3588 they H1992 were elder H2205 H3117 than H4480 he.
|
4. Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
|
|
5. When Elihu H453 saw H7200 that H3588 there was no H369 answer H4617 in the mouth H6310 of these three H7969 men H376 , then his wrath H639 was kindled H2734 .
|
5. When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
|
|
6. And Elihu H453 the son H1121 of Barachel H1292 the Buzite H940 answered H6030 and said H559 , I H589 am young H6810 , and ye H859 are very old H3453 H3117 ; wherefore H5921 H3651 I was afraid H2119 , and durst H3372 not show H4480 H2331 you mine opinion H1843 .
|
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 H559 , Days H3117 should speak H1696 , and multitude H7230 of years H8141 should teach H3045 wisdom H2451 .
|
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 H7227 men are not H3808 always wise H2449 : neither do the aged H2205 understand H995 judgment H4941 .
|
9. Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
|
|
10. Therefore H3651 I said H559 , Hearken H8085 to me; I H589 also H637 will show H2331 mine opinion H1843 .
|
10. Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
|
|
11. Behold H2005 , I waited H3176 for your words H1697 ; I gave ear H238 to H5704 your reasons H8394 , whilst H5704 ye searched out H2713 what to say H4405 .
|
11. Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
|
|
12. Yea , I attended H995 unto H5704 you, and, behold H2009 , there was none H369 of H4480 you that convinced H3198 Job H347 , or that answered H6030 his words H561 :
|
12. Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
|
|
13. Lest H6435 ye should say H559 , We have found out H4672 wisdom H2451 : God H410 thrusteth him down H5086 , not H3808 man H376 .
|
13. Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
|
|
14. Now he hath not H3808 directed H6186 his words H4405 against H413 me: neither H3808 will I answer H7725 him with your speeches H561 .
|
14. Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
|
|
15. They were amazed H2865 , they answered H6030 no H3808 more H5750 : they left off H6275 H4480 speaking H4405 .
|
15. They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
|
|
16. When I had waited H3176 , ( for H3588 they spoke H1696 not H3808 , but H3588 stood still H5975 , and answered H6030 no H3808 more H5750 ;)
|
16. When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
|
|
17. I said , I H589 will answer H6030 also H637 my part H2506 , I H589 also H637 will show H2331 mine opinion H1843 .
|
17. I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
|
|
18. For H3588 I am full H4390 of matter H4405 , the spirit H7307 within H990 me constraineth H6693 me.
|
18. For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
|
|
19. Behold H2009 , my belly H990 is as wine H3196 which hath no H3808 vent H6605 ; it is ready to burst H1234 like new H2319 bottles H178 .
|
19. Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
|
|
20. I will speak H1696 , that I may be refreshed H7304 : I will open H6605 my lips H8193 and answer H6030 .
|
20. I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
|
|
21. Let me not H408 , I pray you H4994 , accept H5375 any man H376 's person H6440 , neither H3808 let me give flattering titles H3655 unto H413 man H120 .
|
21. Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
|
|
22. For H3588 I know H3045 not H3808 to give flattering titles H3655 ; in so doing my maker H6213 would soon H4592 take me away H5375 .
|
22. For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
