Job 32:1 (NASB) New American Standard Bible

1 Then the three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2 But the anger of Elihu, son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled. He was angry with Job for considering himself rather than God to be in the right.
3 He was angry also with the three friends because they had not found a good answer and had not condemned Job.
4 But since these men were older than he, Elihu bided his time before addressing Job.
5 When, however, Elihu saw that there was no reply in the mouths of the three men, his wrath was inflamed.
6 So Elihu, son of Barachel the Buzite, spoke out and said: I am young and you are very old; therefore I held back and was afraid to declare to you my knowledge.
7 Days should speak, I thought, and many years teach wisdom!
8 But it is a spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.
9 It is not those of many days who are wise, nor the aged who understand the right.
10 Therefore I say, hearken to me; let me too set forth my knowledge!
11 Behold, I have waited for your discourses, and have given ear to your arguments.
12 Yes, I followed you attentively as you searched out what to say; And behold, there is none who has convicted Job, not one of you who could refute his statements.
13 Yet do not say, "We have met wisdom. God may vanquish him but not man!"
14 For had he addressed his words to me, I should not then have answered him as you have done.
15 They are dismayed, they make no more reply; words fail them.
16 Must I wait? Now that they speak no more, and have ceased to make reply,
17 I too will speak my part; I also will show my knowledge!
18 For I am full of matters to utter; the spirit within me compels me.
19 Like a new wineskin with wine under pressure, my bosom is ready to burst.
20 Let me speak and obtain relief; let me open my lips, and make reply.
21 I would not be partial to anyone, nor give flattering titles to any.
22 For I know nought of flattery; if I did, my Maker would soon take me away.
1 So these H428 D-DPRO-3MP three H7969 BMS men H376 ceased H7673 W-VQY3MP to answer H6030 M-VQFC Job H347 EMS , because H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS was righteous H6662 AMS in his own eyes H5869 B-CMD-3MS .
2 Then was kindled H2734 W-VQY3MS the wrath H639 CMS of Elihu H453 EMS the son H1121 CMS of Barachel H1292 EMS the Buzite H940 D-LMS , of the kindred H4940 M-CFS of Ram H7410 EMS : against Job H347 B-EMS was his wrath H639 CMS-3MS kindled H2734 VQQ3MS , because H5921 PREP he justified H6663 VPFC-3MS himself H5315 NMS-3MS rather than God H430 M-NMP .
3 Also against his three H7969 WB-CMS friends H7453 CMP-3MS was his wrath H639 CMS-3MS kindled H2734 VQQ3MS , because H5921 PREP they had found H4672 VQQ3MP no H3808 NADV answer H4617 NMS , and yet had condemned H7561 W-VHY3MP Job H347 EMS .
4 Now Elihu H453 W-EMS had waited H2442 VPQ3MS till Job H347 EMS had spoken H1697 B-NMP , because H3588 CONJ they H1992 PPRO-3MP were elder H2205 AMP than H4480 M-PREP-3MS he .
5 When Elihu H453 EMS saw H7200 W-VIY3MS that H3588 CONJ there was no H369 NPAR answer H4617 NMS in the mouth H6310 B-CMS of these three H7969 BMS men H376 D-NMP , then his wrath H639 CMS-3MS was kindled H2734 W-VQY3MS .
6 And Elihu H453 EMS the son H1121 CMS of Barachel H1292 EMS the Buzite H940 D-LMS answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MS , I H589 PPRO-1MS am young H6810 AMS , and ye H859 W-PPRO-2MP are very old H3453 AMP ; wherefore H3651 ADV I was afraid H2119 VQQ1MS , and durst H3372 W-VQY1MS not show H2331 M-VPFC you mine opinion H1843 CMS-1MS .
7 I said H559 VQQ1MS , Days H3117 NMP should speak H1696 VPY3MP , and multitude H7230 W-CMS of years H8141 NFP should teach H3045 VHY3MP wisdom H2451 NFS .
8 But H403 ADV there is a spirit H7307 NMS in man H582 B-NMS : and the inspiration H5397 W-CFS of the Almighty H7706 EDS giveth them understanding H995 VHY3MS-3MP .
9 Great H7227 AMP men are not H3808 ADV always wise H2449 VQY3MP : neither do the aged H2205 W-AMP understand H995 VQY3MP judgment H4941 NMS .
10 Therefore H3651 L-ADV I said H559 VQQ1MS , Hearken H8085 VQI2MS-3FS to me ; I H589 PPRO-1MS also H637 CONJ will show H2331 VPY1MS mine opinion H1843 CMS-1MS .
11 Behold H2005 IJEC , I waited H3176 VHQ1MS for your words H1697 L-CMP-2MP ; I gave ear H238 VHY1MS to H5704 PREP your reasons H8394 CFP-2MP , whilst H5704 PREP ye searched out H2713 VQY2MP-3FP what to say H4405 CFP-3FP .
12 Yea , I attended H995 VTY1MS-3FP unto H5704 W-PREP-2MP you , and , behold H2009 IJEC , there was none H369 NPAR of H4480 PREP-2MP you that convinced H3198 VHPMS Job H347 L-EMS , or that answered H6030 VQPMS his words H561 CMP-3MS :
13 Lest H6435 CONJ ye should say H559 VQY2MP , We have found out H4672 VQQ1MP wisdom H2451 NFS : God H410 EDS thrusteth him down H5086 VQY3MS-3MS , not H3808 NADV man H376 NMS .
14 Now he hath not H3808 W-NPAR directed H6186 VQQ3MS his words H4405 NFP against H413 PREP-1MS me : neither H3808 W-NPAR will I answer H7725 VHY1MS-3MS him with your speeches H561 WB-CMP-2MP .
15 They were amazed H2865 VQQ3MP , they answered H6030 VQQ3MP no H3808 NADV more H5750 ADV : they left off H6275 VHQ3MP speaking H4405 NMP .
16 When I had waited H3176 W-VHQ1MS , ( CONJ for CONJ they spoke H1696 VPY3MP not H3808 NADV , but H3588 CONJ stood still H5975 VQQ3MP , and answered H6030 VQQ3MP no H3808 NADV more H5750 ADV ; )
17 I said , I H589 PPRO-1MS will answer H6030 VQQ1MS also H637 CONJ my part H2506 CMS-1MS , I H589 PPRO-1MS also H637 CONJ will show H2331 VPY1MS mine opinion H1843 CMS-1MS .
18 For H3588 CONJ I am full H4390 VQQ1MS of matter H4405 NFP , the spirit H7307 NFS within H990 CFS-1MS me constraineth H6693 VHQ3FS-1MS me .
19 Behold H2009 IJEC , my belly H990 CFS-1MS is as wine H3196 K-NMS which hath no H3808 NADV vent H6605 VNY3MS ; it is ready to burst H1234 VNY3MS like new H2319 AMP bottles H178 K-NMP .
20 I will speak H1696 VPI1MS , that I may be refreshed H7304 W-VQY3MS : I will open H6605 VQY1MS my lips H8193 CFD-1MS and answer H6030 W-VQI1MS .
21 Let me not H408 NPAR , I pray you H4994 IJEC , accept H5375 VQY1MS any man H376 NMS \'s person H6440 CMP , neither H3808 NADV let me give flattering titles H3655 VPY1MS unto H413 W-PREP man H120 NMS .
22 For H3588 CONJ I know H3045 VQY1MS not H3808 NADV to give flattering titles H3655 VPY1MS ; in so doing my maker H6213 VQCMS-1MS would soon H4592 K-AMS take me away H5375 VQY3MS-1MS .
