Job 32:6-22

6And ElihuH453 the sonH1121 of BarachelH1292 the BuziteH940 answeredH6030 and saidH559, I am youngH3117H6810, and ye are very oldH3453; wherefore I was afraidH2119, and durstH3372 not shewH2331 you mine opinionH1843.12

7I saidH559, DaysH3117 should speakH1696, and multitudeH7230 of yearsH8141 should teachH3045 wisdomH2451.

8ButH403 there is a spiritH7307 in manH582: and the inspirationH5397 of the AlmightyH7706 giveth them understandingH995.

9Great menH7227 are not always wiseH2449: neither do the agedH2205 understandH995 judgmentH4941.

10Therefore I saidH559, HearkenH8085 to me; I also will shewH2331 mine opinionH1843.

11Behold, I waitedH3176 for your wordsH1697; I gave earH238 to your reasonsH8394, whilst ye searched outH2713 what to sayH4405.34

12Yea, I attendedH995 unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convincedH3198 JobH347, or that answeredH6030 his wordsH561:

13Lest ye should sayH559, We have found outH4672 wisdomH2451: GodH410 thrusteth him downH5086, not manH376.

14Now he hath not directedH6186 his wordsH4405 against me: neither will I answerH7725 him with your speechesH561.5

15They were amazedH2865, they answeredH6030 no more: they left offH6275 speakingH4405.6

16When I had waitedH3176, (for they spakeH1696 not, but stood stillH5975, and answeredH6030 no more;)

17I said, I will answerH6030 also my partH2506, I also will shewH2331 mine opinionH1843.

18For I am fullH4390 of matterH4405, the spiritH7307 withinH990 me constrainethH6693 me.78

19Behold, my bellyH990 is as wineH3196 which hath no ventH6605; it is ready to burstH1234 like newH2319 bottlesH178.9

20I will speakH1696, that I may be refreshedH7304: I will openH6605 my lipsH8193 and answerH6030.10

21Let me not, I pray you, acceptH5375 any man’sH376 personH6440, neither let me give flattering titlesH3655 unto manH120.

22For I knowH3045 not to give flattering titlesH3655; in so doing my makerH6213 would soonH4592 take me awayH5375.
