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 held back, and durst not shew you mine opinion. 7I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. 8But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding. 9It is not the great that are wise, nor the aged that understand judgment. 10Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion. 11Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say. 12Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none that convinced Job, or that answered his words, among you. 13Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man: 14For he hath not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches. 15They are amazed, they answer no more: they have not a word to say. 16And shall I wait, because they speak not, because they stand still, and answer no more? 17I also will answer my part, I also will shew mine opinion. 18For I am full of words; the spirit within me constraineth me. 19Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; like new bottles it is ready to burst. 20I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer. 21Let me not, I pray you, respect any man’s person; neither will I give flattering titles unto any man. 22For I know not to give flattering titles; else would my Maker soon take me away.
