¹ So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.² Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.³ Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.⁴ Now Elihu had waited to speak to 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, I am young, and you are very old; Therefore I held back, and didn't dare show you my opinion.⁷ I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.⁸ But there is a spirit in common man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.⁹ It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice.¹⁰ Therefore I said, Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.¹¹ Look, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, While you searched out what to say.¹² Yes, I attended to you, And, look, there was none that convinced Job, Or that answered his words, among you.¹³ Beware you don't say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man:¹⁴ For he has not directed his words against me; Neither will I answer him with your speeches.

¹⁵ They are amazed, they answer no more: They haven't a word to say.¹⁶ And shall I wait, because they don't speak, Because they stand still, and answer no more?¹⁷ I also will answer my part, I also will show my opinion.¹⁸ For I am full of words; The spirit inside me constrains me.¹⁹ Look, my breast is as wine which has no vent; Like blacksmith's bellows it is ready to burst.²⁰ I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.²¹ Let me not, I pray you, respect a man's person; Neither will I give flattering titles to any among man.²² For I don't know to give flattering titles; [Else] would my Maker soon take me away.
