¹ So these three men ceased to answer Job, {P}² Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; ³ Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, ⁴ Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were older than he.⁵ And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.

⁶ And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said: {N}wherefore I held back, and durst not declare you mine opinion.⁷ I said: 'Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.'⁸ But it is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty, that giveth them understanding.⁹ It is not the great that are wise, nor the aged that discern judgment.¹⁰ Therefore I say: 'Hearken to me; I also will declare mine opinion.'¹¹ Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.¹² Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none that convinced Job, or that answered his words, among you.¹³ Beware lest ye say: 'We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man!'¹⁴ For he hath not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.

¹⁵ They are amazed, they answer no more; words are departed from them.¹⁶ And shall I wait, because they speak not, because they stand still, and answer no more?¹⁷ I also will answer my part, I also will declare mine opinion.¹⁸ For I am full of words; the spirit within me constraineth me.¹⁹ Behold, mine inwards are as wine which hath no vent; like new wine-skins which are ready to burst.²⁰ I will speak, that I may find relief; I will open my lips and answer.²¹ Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.²² For I know not to give flattering titles; else would my Maker soon take me away.
