Job 32:13-22
13So do not say, ‘We have found wisdom! God will refute him, not man!’
14Job has not directed his words to me, and so I will not reply to him with your arguments.
151“They are dismayed and cannot answer any more; they have nothing left to say.
16And I have waited. But because they do not speak, because they stand there and answer no more,
17I too will answer my part, I too will explain what I know.
18For I am full of words, and the spirit within me constrains me.
19Inside I am like wine which has no outlet, like new wineskins ready to burst!
20I will speak, so that I may find relief; I will open my lips, so that I may answer.
21I will not show partiality to anyone, nor will I confer a title on any man.
22for I do not know how to give honorary titles, if I did, my Creator would quickly do away with me.
Notes
- 1. Job 32:15 Elihu now will give another reason why he will speak – the arguments of these friends failed miserably. But before he gets to his argument, he will first qualify his authority. ↩
