¹ H7969 So these three H582 men H7673 ceased [H8799]   H6030 to answer [H8800]   H347 Job H6662 , because he was righteous H5869 in his own eyes.

² H2734 Then was kindled [H8799]   H639 the wrath H453 of Elihu H1121 the son H1292 of Barachel H940 the Buzite H4940 , of the kindred H7410 of Ram H347 : against Job H639 was his wrath H2734 kindled [H8804]   H6663 , because he justified [H8763]   H5315 himself H430 rather than God.

³ H7969 Also against his three H7453 friends H639 was his wrath H2734 kindled [H8804]   H4672 , because they had found [H8804]   H4617 no answer H7561 , and yet had condemned [H8686]   H347 Job.

⁴ H453 Now Elihu H2442 had waited [H8765]   H347 till Job H1697 had spoken H2205 , because they were elder H3117   than he.

⁵ H453 When Elihu H7200 saw [H8799]   H4617 that there was no answer H6310 in the mouth H7969 of these three H582 men H639 , then his wrath H2734 was kindled [H8799]  .

⁶ H453 And Elihu H1121 the son H1292 of Barachel H940 the Buzite H6030 answered [H8799]   H559 and said [H8799]   H6810 , I am young H3117   H3453 , and ye are very old H2119 ; wherefore I was afraid [H8804]   H3372 , and durst [H8799]   H2331 not shew [H8763]   H1843 you mine opinion.

⁷ H559 I said [H8804]   H3117 , Days H1696 should speak [H8762]   H7230 , and multitude H8141 of years H3045 should teach [H8686]   H2451 wisdom.

⁸ H403 But H7307 there is a spirit H582 in man H5397 : and the inspiration H7706 of the Almighty H995 giveth them understanding [H8799]  .

⁹ H7227 Great men H2449 are not always wise [H8799]   H2205 : neither do the aged H995 understand [H8799]   H4941 judgment.

¹⁰ H559 Therefore I said [H8804]   H8085 , Hearken [H8798]   H2331 to me; I also will shew [H8762]   H1843 mine opinion.

¹¹ H3176 Behold, I waited [H8689]   H1697 for your words H238 ; I gave ear [H8686]   H8394 to your reasons H2713 , whilst ye searched out [H8799]   H4405 what to say.

¹² H995 Yea, I attended [H8709]   H3198 unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced [H8688]   H347 Job H6030 , or that answered [H8802]   H561 his words:

¹³ H559 Lest ye should say [H8799]   H4672 , We have found out [H8804]   H2451 wisdom H410 : God H5086 thrusteth him down [H8799]   H376 , not man.

¹⁴ H6186 Now he hath not directed [H8804]   H4405 his words H7725 against me: neither will I answer [H8686]   H561 him with your speeches.

¹⁵ H2865 They were amazed [H8804]   H6030 , they answered [H8804]   H6275 no more: they left off [H8689]   H4405 speaking.

¹⁶ H3176 When I had waited [H8689]   H1696 , (for they spake [H8762]   H5975 not, but stood still [H8804]   H6030 , and answered [H8804]   no more;)

¹⁷ H6030 I said, I will answer [H8799]   H2506 also my part H2331 , I also will shew [H8762]   H1843 mine opinion.

¹⁸ H4390 For I am full [H8804]   H4405 of matter H7307 , the spirit H990 within H6693 me constraineth [H8689]   me.

¹⁹ H990 Behold, my belly H3196 is as wine H6605 which hath no vent [H8735]   H1234 ; it is ready to burst [H8735]   H2319 like new H178 bottles.

²⁰ H1696 I will speak [H8762]   H7304 , that I may be refreshed [H8799]   H6605 : I will open [H8799]   H8193 my lips H6030 and answer [H8799]  .

²¹ H5375 Let me not, I pray you, accept [H8799]   H376 any man's H6440 person H3655 , neither let me give flattering titles [H8762]   H120 unto man.

²² H3045 For I know [H8804]   H3655 not to give flattering titles [H8762]   H6213 ; in so doing my maker [H8802]   H4592 would soon H5375 take me away [H8799]  .
