Job 32

Young's Literal Translation YLT

1 And these three men cease from answering Job, for he [is] righteous in his own eyes,

2 and burn doth the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job hath his anger burned, because of his justifying himself more than God;

3 and against his three friends hath his anger burned, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.

4 And Elihu hath waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.

5 And Elihu seeth that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burneth.

6 And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answereth and saith: -- Young I [am] in days, and ye [are] age Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of shewing you my opinion.

7 I said: Days do speak, And multitude of years teach wisdom.

8 Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Doth cause them to understand.

9 The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.

10 Therefore I have said: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion -- even I.

11 Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings.

12 And unto you I attend, And lo, there is no reasoner for Job, [Or] answerer of his sayings among you.

13 Lest ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him away, not man.

14 And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your sayings I do not answer him.

15 (They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed from themselves words.

16 And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered any more.)

17 I answer, even I -- my share, I shew my opinion -- even I.

18 For I have been full of words, Distressed me hath the spirit of my breast,

19 Lo, my breast [is] as wine not opened, Like new bottles it is broken up.

20 I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.

21 Let me not, I pray you, accept the face of any, Nor unto man give flattering titles,

22 For I have not known to give flattering titles, In a little doth my Maker take me away.

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

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

2 Then Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite from the family of Ram became angry. He was angry at Job because he had justified himself rather than God.

3 He was also angry at Job's three friends because they had failed to refute [him], and yet had condemned him.

4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were [all] older than he.

5 But when he saw that the three men could not answer Job, he became angry.

6 So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite replied: I am young in years, while you are old; therefore I was timid and afraid to tell you what I know.

7 I thought that age should speak and maturity should teach wisdom.

8 But it is a spirit in man and the breath of the Almighty that give him understanding.

9 It is not [only] the old who are wise or the elderly who understand how to judge.

10 Therefore I say, "Listen to me. I too will declare what I know."

11 Look, I waited for your conclusions; I listened to your insights as you sought for words.

12 I paid close attention to you. Yet no one proved Job wrong; not one of you refuted his arguments.

13 So do not claim, "We have found wisdom; let God deal with him, not man."

14 But Job has not directed his argument to me, and I will not respond to him with your arguments.

15 Job's friends are dismayed and can no longer answer; words have left them.

16 Should I continue to wait now that they are silent, now that they stand [there] and no longer answer?

17 I too will answer; yes, I will tell what I know.

18 For I am full of words, and my spirit compels me [to speak].

19 My heart is like unvented wine; it is about to burst like new wineskins.

20 I must speak so that I can find relief; I must open my lips and respond.

21 I will be partial to no one, and I will not give anyone an [undeserved] title.

22 For I do not know how to give [such] titles; otherwise, my Maker would remove me in an instant.
