Job 32:1-11

1Then theseH428 threeH7969 menH376 ceasedH7673 answeringH6030 JobH347, becauseH3588 he was 1righteousH6662 in his own eyesH5869. 2But the angerH639 of ElihuH453 the sonH1121 of BarachelH1292 the 2BuziteH940, of the familyH4940 of RamH7410 burnedH2734; against JobH347 his angerH639 burnedH2734 3becauseH5921 he justifiedH6663 himselfH5315 4 5beforeH4480 GodH430. 3And his angerH639 burnedH2734 against his threeH7969 friendsH7453 becauseH5921 H834 they had foundH4672 noH3808 answerH4617, and yet had condemnedH7561 JobH347. 4Now ElihuH453 had waitedH2442 6to speakH1697 to JobH347 becauseH3588 they were yearsH3117 olderH2205 thanH4480 he. 5And when ElihuH453 sawH7200 that thereH369 was noH369 answerH4617 in the mouthH6310 of the threeH7969 menH376 his angerH639 burnedH2734.

6So ElihuH453 the sonH1121 of BarachelH1292 the BuziteH940 7spokeH6030 out and saidH559, “I am youngH6810 in yearsH3117 and you are 8oldH3453; ThereforeH5921 H3651 I was shyH2119 and afraidH3372 to tellH2331 you 9whatH1843 I thinkH1843.7I 10thoughtH559 11 12ageH3117 should speakH1696, And 13increasedH7230 yearsH8141 should teachH3045 wisdomH2451.8But it is a spiritH7307 in manH582, And the 14breathH5397 of the AlmightyH7706 givesH995 them 15understandingH995.9The 16abundantH7227 in years may not be wiseH2449, NorH3808 may 17eldersH2205 understandH995 justiceH4941.10SoH3651 I 18sayH559, ‘ListenH8085 to me, I tooH637 will tellH2331 19whatH1843 I thinkH1843.’

11“BeholdH2005, I waitedH3176 for your wordsH1697, I listenedH238 to your reasoningsH8394, WhileH5704 you 20ponderedH2713 whatH4405 to sayH4405.
