Job 32:6-22
6And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said,
I am young, and ye are very old;Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion.7I said, Days should speak,And multitude of years should teach wisdom.8But there is a spirit in man,And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.9It is not the great that are wise,Nor the aged that understand justice.10Therefore I said, Hearken to me;I also will show mine opinion.11Behold, I waited for your words,I listened for your reasonings,Whilst ye searched out what to say.12Yea, I attended unto you,And, behold, there was none that convinced Job,Or that answered his words, among you.13Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom;God may vanquish him, not man:14For he hath not directed his words against me;Neither will I answer him with your speeches.15They are amazed, they answer no more:They have not a word to say.16And shall I wait, because they speak not,Because they stand still, and answer no more?17I also will answer my part,I also will show mine opinion.18For I am full of words;The spirit within me constraineth me.19Behold, my breast is as wine which hath no vent;Like new wine-skins it is ready to burst.20I will speak, that I may be refreshed;I will open my lips and answer.21Let me not, I pray you, respect any man’s person;Neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.22For I know not to give flattering titles;Elsewould my Maker soon take me away.
