| 1 | So these three men ceased to answere Iob, because he was righteous in his owne eyes. |
| 2 | Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu, the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the kinred of Ram: against Iob was his wrath kindled, because he iustified himselfe rather then God. |
| 3 | Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled: because they had found no answere, and yet had condemned Iob. |
| 4 | Now Elihu had waited till Iob had spoken: because they were elder then he. |
| 5 | When Elihu saw that there was no answere in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled. |
| 6 | And Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite answered and sayd: I am yong, and yee are very old, wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion. |
| 7 | I said, Dayes should speake, and multitude of yeeres should teach wisedome. |
| 8 | But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almightie giueth them vnderstanding. |
| 9 | Great men are not alwayes wise: neither doe the aged vnderstand iudgement. |
| 10 | Therfore I sayd, Hearken to me: I also will shew mine opinion. |
| 11 | Behold, I waited for your words: I gaue eare to your reasons, whilest you searched out what to say. |
| 12 | Yea, I attended vnto you: and beholde, there was none of you that conuinced Iob, or that answered his words: |
| 13 | Lest ye should say, We haue found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man. |
| 14 | Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answere him with your speeches. |
| 15 | They were amased, they answered no more, they left off speaking. |
| 16 | When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more.) |
| 17 | I sayd, I will answere also my part, I also will shew mine opinion. |
| 18 | For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me. |
| 19 | Behold, my belly is as wine, which hath no vent, it is ready to burst like new bottles. |
| 20 | I will speake, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lippes, and answere. |
| 21 | Let me not, I pray you, accept any mans person: neither let me giue flattering titles vnto man. |
| 22 | For I know not to giue flattering titles: in so doing my maker would soone take me away. |
