Job 32:6-22

6And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are aged; wherefore I was timid, and feared to shew you what I know. 7I said, Let days speak, and multitude of years teach wisdom. 8But there is a spirit which is in man; and the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding. 9It is not the great that are wise; neither do the aged understand judgment. 10Therefore I say, Hearken to me; I also will shew what I know. 11Lo, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasonings, until ye searched out what to say. 12Yea, I gave you mine attention, and behold, there was none of you that confuted Job, that answered his words; 13That ye may not say, We have found out wisdom; 1God will make him yield, not man. 14Now he hath not directed [his] words against me; and I will not answer him with your speeches. ... 15They were amazed, they answered no more; words failed them. 16And I waited, for they spoke not, but stood still, and answered no more; — 17I will answer, I also in my turn, I also will shew what I know: 18For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me. 19Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; like new flasks, it is ready to burst. 20I will speak, that I may find relief; I will open my lips and answer. 21Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person; neither will I give flattery to man. 22For I know not how to flatter; my Maker would soon take me away.
