Job 32

1 Elihu is angry with Job and his three friends. 6 Because wisdom cometh not from age, he excuseth the boldness of his youth. 11 He reproveth them for not satisfying Job. 16 His zeal to speak.

 32:1 Then these 428 three 7969 men 376 ceased 7673a answering 6030a Job 347, because 3588 he was righteous 6662 in his own eyes 5869.

 32:2 But the anger 639 of Elihu 453 the son 1121 of Barachel 1292 the Buzite 940, of the family 4940 of Ram 7410 burned 2734; against Job 347 his anger 639 burned 2734 because 5921 he justified 6663 himself 5315 before 4480 God 430.

 32:3 And his anger 639 burned 2734 against his three 7969 friends 7453 because 5921 834 they had found 4672 no 3808 answer 4617, and yet had condemned 7561 Job 347.

 32:4 Now Elihu 453 had waited 2442 to speak 1697 to Job 347 because 3588 they were years 3117 older 2205 than 4480 he.

 32:5 And when Elihu 453 saw 7200 that there 369 was no 369 answer 4617 in the mouth 6310 of the three 7969 men 376 his anger 639 burned 2734.

 32:6 ¶ So Elihu 453 the son 1121 of Barachel 1292 the Buzite 940 spoke 6030a out and said 559, “I am young 6810 in years 3117 and you are old 3453; Therefore 5921 3651 I was shy 2119b and afraid 3372a to tell 2331a you what 1843 I think 1843.

 32:7 “I thought 559 age 3117 should speak 1696, And increased 7230 years 8141 should teach 3045 wisdom 2451.

 32:8 “But it is a spirit 7307 in man 582, And the breath 5397 of the Almighty 7706b gives 995 them understanding 995.

 32:9 “The abundant 7227a [in years] may not be wise 2449, Nor 3808 may elders 2205 understand 995 justice 4941.

 32:10 “So 3651 I say 559, ‘Listen 8085 to me, I too 637 will tell 2331a what 1843 I think 1843.’

 32:11 ¶ “Behold 2005, I waited 3176 for your words 1697, I listened 238 to your reasonings 8394, While 5704 you pondered 2713 what 4405 to say 4405.

 32:12 “I even paid 995 close 995 attention 995 to you; Indeed 2009, there 369 was no 369 one 369 who refuted 3198 Job 347, Not one of you who answered 6030a his words 561.

 32:13 “Do not say 559, ‘We have found 4672 wisdom 2451; God 410 will rout 5086 him, not man 376.’

 32:14 “For he has not arranged 6186a [his] words 4405 against 413 me, Nor 3808 will I reply 7725 to him with your arguments 561.

 32:15 ¶ “They are dismayed 2865, they no 3808 longer 5750 answer 6030a; Words 4405 have failed 6275 them.

 32:16 “Shall I wait 3176, because 3588 they do not speak 1696, Because 3588 they stop 5975 [and] no 3808 longer 5750 answer 6030a?

 32:17 “I too 637 will answer 6030a my share 2506, I also 637 will tell 2331a my opinion 1843.

 32:18 “For I am full 4390 of words 4405; The spirit 7307 within 990 me constrains 6693 me.

 32:19 “Behold 2009, my belly 990 is like unvented 3808 6605a wine 3196, Like new 2319 wineskins 178 it is about to burst 1234.

 32:20 “Let me speak 1696 that I may get 7304 relief 7304; Let me open 6605a my lips 8193 and answer 6030a.

 32:21 “Let me now 4994 be partial 5375 6440 to no 408 one 376, Nor 3808 flatter 3655 [any] man 120.

 32:22 “For I do not know 3045 how to flatter 3655, [Else] my Maker 6213a would soon 4592 take 5375 me away.
