Job 32

Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX

1 And his three friends also ceased any longer to answer Job: for Job was righteous before them.

2 Then Elius the son of Barachiel, the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, of the country of Ausis, was angered: and he was very angry with Job, because he justified himself before the Lord.

3 And he was also very angry with three friends, because they were not able to return answers to Job, yet set him down for an ungodly man.

4 But Elius had forborne to give an answer to Job, because they were older than he.

5 And Elius saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men; and he was angered in his wrath.

6 And Elius the Buzite the son of Barachiel answered and said, I am younger in age, and ye are elder, wherefore I kept silence, fearing to declare to you my own knowledge.

7 And I said, It is not time that speaks, though in many years know wisdom:

8 but there is a spirit in mortals; and the inspiration of the Almighty is that which teaches.

9 The long-lived are not wise ; neither do the aged know judgment.

10 Wherefore I said, Hear me, and I will tell you what I know.

11 Hearken to my words; for I will speak in your hearing, until ye shall have tried with words:

12 and I shall understand as far as you; and, behold, there was no one of you that answered Job his words in argument,

13 lest ye should say, We have found that we have added wisdom to the Lord.

14 And ye have commissioned a man to speak such words.

15 They were afraid, they answered no longer; they gave up their speaking.

16 I waited, (for I had not spoken,) because they stood still, they answered not.

17 And Elius continued, and said, I will again speak,

18 for I am full of words, for the spirit of my belly destroys me.

19 And my belly is as a skin of sweet wine, bound up ready to burst; or as a brazier's labouring bellows.

20 I will speak, that I may open my lips and relieve myself.

21 For truly I will not be awed because of man, nor indeed will I be confounded before a mortal.

22 For I know not how to respect persons: and if otherwise, even the moths would eat me.

New International Version NIV

1 So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

2 But Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, became very angry with Job for justifying himself rather than God.

3 He was also angry with the three friends, because they had found no way to refute Job, and yet had condemned him.

4 Now Elihu had waited before speaking to Job because they were older than he.

5 But when he saw that the three men had nothing more to say, his anger was aroused.

6 So Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite said: “I am young in years, and you are old; that is why I was fearful, not daring to tell you what I know.

7 I thought, ‘Age should speak; advanced years should teach wisdom.’

8 But it is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.

9 It is not only the old who are wise, not only the aged who understand what is right.

10 “Therefore I say: Listen to me; I too will tell you what I know.

11 I waited while you spoke, I listened to your reasoning; while you were searching for words,

12 I gave you my full attention. But not one of you has proved Job wrong; none of you has answered his arguments.

13 Do not say, ‘We have found wisdom; let God, not a man, refute him.’

14 But Job has not marshaled his words against me, and I will not answer him with your arguments.

15 “They are dismayed and have no more to say; words have failed them.

16 Must I wait, now that they are silent, now that they stand there with no reply?

17 I too will have my say; I too will tell what I know.

18 For I am full of words, and the spirit within me compels me;

19 inside I am like bottled-up wine, like new wineskins ready to burst.

20 I must speak and find relief; I must open my lips and reply.

21 I will show no partiality, nor will I flatter anyone;

22 for if I were skilled in flattery, my Maker would soon take me away.
