¹ So these three men ceased to answere Iob, because he esteemed himselfe iust.² Then the wrath of Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the familie of Ram, was kindled: his wrath, I say, was kindled against Iob, because he iustified himselfe more then God.³ Also his anger was kindled against his three friends, because they could not finde an answere, and yet condemned Iob.⁴ (Now Elihu had wayted til Iob had spoken: for they were more ancient in yeeres then he)⁵ So when Elihu saw, that there was none answere in the mouth of the three men, his wrath was kindled.

⁶ Therefore Elihu the sonne of Barachel, the Buzite answered, & sayd, I am yong in yeres, and ye are ancient: therefore I doubted, and was afraide to shewe you mine opinion.⁷ For I said, The dayes shall speake, and the multitude of yeeres shall teach wisedome.⁸ Surely there is a spirite in man, but the inspiration of the Almightie giueth vnderstanding.⁹ Great men are not alway wise, neither doe the aged alway vnderstand iudgement.¹⁰ Therefore I say, Heare me, and I will shew also mine opinion.¹¹ Behold, I did waite vpon your wordes, and hearkened vnto your knowledge, whiles you sought out reasons.¹² Yea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that reproued Iob, nor answered his wordes:¹³ Lest ye should say, We haue found wisedome: for God hath cast him downe, and no man.¹⁴ Yet hath he not directed his words to me, neyther will I answere him by your wordes.

¹⁵ Then they fearing, answered no more, but left off their talke.¹⁶ When I had wayted (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more)¹⁷ Then answered I in my turne, and I shewed mine opinion.¹⁸ For I am full of matter, and the spirite within me compelleth me.¹⁹ Beholde, my belly is as the wine, which hath no vent, and like the new bottels that brast.²⁰ Therefore will I speake, that I may take breath: I will open my lippes, and will answere.²¹ I will not now accept the person of man, neyther will I giue titles to man.²² For I may not giue titles, lest my Maker should take me away suddenly.
