(Job 32:1) So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he {was} righteous in his own eyes.
(Job 32:2) Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
(Job 32:3) Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and {yet} had condemned Job.
(Job 32:4) Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they {were} elder than he.
(Job 32:5) When Elihu saw that {there was} no answer in the mouth of {these} three men, then his wrath was kindled.
(Job 32:6) And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I {am} young, and ye {are} very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.
(Job 32:7) I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
(Job 32:8) But {there is} a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
(Job 32:9) Great men are not {always} wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
(Job 32:10) Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
(Job 32:11) Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
(Job 32:12) Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, {there was} none of you that convinced Job, {or} that answered his words:
(Job 32:13) Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
(Job 32:14) Now he hath not directed {his} words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
(Job 32:15) They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
(Job 32:16) When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, {and} answered no more;)
(Job 32:17) {I said}, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
(Job 32:18) For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
(Job 32:19) Behold, my belly {is} as wine {which} hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
(Job 32:20) I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
(Job 32:21) Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
(Job 32:22) For I know not to give flattering titles; {in so doing} my maker would soon take me away.
