Job 32:1-10
1
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2
Then Eli'hu the son of Bar'achel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, became angry. He was angry at Job because he justified himself rather than God;
3
he was angry also at Job's three friends because they had found no answer, although they had declared Job to be in the wrong.
4
Now Eli'hu had waited to speak to Job because they were older than he.
5
And when Eli'hu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, he became angry.
6
And Eli'hu the son of Bar'achel the Buzite answered: "I am young in years, and you are aged; therefore I was timid and afraid to declare my opinion to you.
7
I said, 'Let days speak, and many years teach wisdom.'
8
But it is the spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand.
9
It is not the old that are wise, nor the aged that understand what is right.
10
Therefore I say, 'Listen to me; let me also declare my opinion.'

Job 32:19-22
19
Behold, my heart is like wine that has no vent; like new wineskins, it is ready to burst.
20
I must speak, that I may find relief; I must open my lips and answer.
21
I will not show partiality to any person or use flattery toward any man.
22
For I do not know how to flatter, else would my Maker soon put an end to me.
