Job 32:1-11

1So theseH428 threeH7969 menH582 stoppedH7673 answeringH6030 JobH347, becauseH3588 heH1931 was righteousH6662 in his own eyesH5869.

2This kindledH2734 the angerH639 of ElihuH453 sonH1121 of BarachelH1292 the BuziteH940, of the familyH4940 of RamH7410. He burnedH2734 with angerH639 against JobH347 forH5921 justifyingH6663 himselfH5315 rather than GodH430, 3and he burnedH2734 with angerH639 against Job’s threeH7969 friendsH7453 becauseH5921 they had failedH3808H4672 to refuteH4617 Job, and yet had condemnedH7561 himH347.

4Now ElihuH453 had waitedH2442 to speakH1697 to JobH347 becauseH3588 the othersH1992 were olderH2205 than heH4480. 5But when heH453 sawH7200 thatH3588 the threeH7969 menH582 had noH369 further replyH4617H6310, his angerH639 was kindledH2734. 6So ElihuH453 sonH1121 of BarachelH1292 the BuziteH940H559 declaredH6030:

“IH589 am youngH6810 in yearsH3117,while youH859 are oldH3453;that is whyH5921H3651 I was timidH2119 and afraidH3372to tell youH2331 what I knowH1843.7I thoughtH559 that ageH3117 should speakH1696,and manyH7230 yearsH8141 should teachH3045 wisdomH2451.8ButH403 there is a spiritH73071 in a manH582,the breathH5397 of the AlmightyH7706,that gives him understandingH995.9It is not onlyH3808 the oldH72272 who are wiseH2449,or the elderlyH2205 who understandH995 justiceH4941.10ThereforeH3651 I sayH559, ‘ListenH8085 to me;IH589 tooH637 will declareH2331 what I knowH1843.’
11IndeedH2005, I waitedH3176 while you spokeH1697;I listenedH238 toH5704 your reasoningH8394;asH5704 you searchedH2713 for wordsH4405,
