¹ So these three men ceassed to aunswere Iob, because he held him selfe a righteous man.² But Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the kinred of Ram, was very sore displeased at Iob, because he called hym selfe iust before God.³ And with Iobs three friendes he was angry also, because they had founde no reasonable aunswere, and yet condempned Iob.⁴ Nowe taried Elihu, till they had ended their comunication with Iob: for why? they were elder then he.⁵ So when Elihu sawe that these three men were not able to make Iob aunswere, he was miscontent.

⁶ Therfore Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite aunswered, and sayde: [Considering that] I am young, and ye be men of age, I was afrayde, and durst not shewe foorth my mynde.⁷ For I thought thus within my selfe: It becommeth old men to speake, and the aged to teache wysdome.⁸ Euery man no doubt hath a mynde, but it is the inspiration of the almightie that geueth vnderstanding.⁹ Great men are not alway wyse, neither doth euery aged man vnderstande the thing that is lawfull:¹⁰ Therefore I say, heare me, and I wil shewe you also myne vnderstanding.¹¹ For when I had wayted till ye made an end of your talking, and hearde your wysdome, what argumentes ye made in your communication,¹² Yea when I had diligently pondred what ye sayde, I found not one of you that made any good argument against Iob, that directly could make aunswere vnto his wordes,¹³ Lest ye should say: We haue found out wisdome, God shall cast hym downe, and no man.¹⁴ He hath not spoken vnto me, and I wil not aunswere hym as ye haue done.

¹⁵ For they were so abashed, that they coulde not make aunswere, nor speake one worde.¹⁶ When I had wayted (for they spake not, but stoode still and aunswered no more:)¹⁷ Then aunswered I in my turne, and I shewed myne opinion.¹⁸ For I am full of matter, and the spirite within me compelleth me.¹⁹ Beholde, my belly is as the wine, whiche hath no vent, lyke the newe bottels that bruste.²⁰ [Therfore] will I speake, that I may haue a bent: I will open my lippes, and make aunswere.²¹ I will regarde no maner of person, no man will I spare.²² For if I woulde go about to please men, I knowe not howe soone my maker would take me away.
