321And these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.+2Then was kindled the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his anger kindled, because he justified himself rather thanGod;+3and against his three friends was his anger kindled, because they found no answer, and [yet] condemned Job.+4But Elihu had waited till Job had finished speaking, because they were older than he.+5And Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger was kindled.+6And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are aged; wherefore I was timid, and feared to shew you what I know.+7I said, Let days speak, and multitude of years teach wisdom.+8But there is a spirit which is in man; and the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.+9It is not the great that are wise; neither do the aged understand judgment.+10Therefore I say, Hearken to me; I also will shew what I know.+11Lo, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasonings, until ye searched out what to say.+12Yea, I gave you mine attention, and behold, there was none of you that confuted Job, that answered his words;+13That ye may not say, We have found out wisdom;God will make him yield, not man.+14Now he hath not directed [his] words against me; and I will not answer him with your speeches....+15They were amazed, they answered no more; words failed them.+16And I waited, for they spoke not, but stood still, and answered no more; —+17I will answer, I also in my turn, I also will shew what I know:+18For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.+19Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; like new flasks, it is ready to burst.+20I will speak, that I may find relief; I will open my lips and answer.+21Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person; neither will I give flattery to man.+22For I know not how to flatter; my Maker would soon take me away.+
