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 was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.12

7I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.

8But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

9Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

10Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.

11Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.34

12Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:

13Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.

14Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.5

15They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.6

16When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)

17I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.

18For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.78

19Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.9

20I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.10

21Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.

22For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
