2 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God. ERV — Job 32:2
3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. ERV — Job 32:3
4 Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he. ERV — Job 32:4
5 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled. ERV — Job 32:5
6 And 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. ERV — Job 32:6
7 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. ERV — Job 32:7
8 But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding. ERV — Job 32:8
9 It is not the great that are wise, nor the aged that understand judgment. ERV — Job 32:9
10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion. ERV — Job 32:10
11 Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say. ERV — Job 32:11
12 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none that convinced Job, or that answered his words, among you. ERV — Job 32:12
13 Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man: ERV — Job 32:13
14 For he hath not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches. ERV — Job 32:14
15 They are amazed, they answer no more: they have not a word to say. ERV — Job 32:15
16 And shall I wait, because they speak not, because they stand still, and answer no more? ERV — Job 32:16
17 I also will answer my part, I also will shew mine opinion. ERV — Job 32:17
18 For I am full of words; the spirit within me constraineth me. ERV — Job 32:18
19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; like new bottles it is ready to burst. ERV — Job 32:19
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer. ERV — Job 32:20
21 Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; neither will I give flattering titles unto any man. ERV — Job 32:21
22 For I know not to give flattering titles; else would my Maker soon take me away. ERV — Job 32:22
