1
So these three men quit answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2
Then Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite from the family of Ram became angry. He was angry at Job because he had justified himself rather than God.
3
He was also angry at Job’s three friends because they had failed to refute him and yet had condemned him.
4
Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were all older than he.
5
But when he saw that the three men could not answer Job, he became angry.
6
So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite replied: I am young in years, while you are old; therefore I was timid and afraid to tell you what I know.
7
I thought that age should speak and maturity should teach wisdom.
8
But it is the spirit in a person— the breath from the Almighty— that gives anyone understanding.
9
It is not only the old who are wise or the elderly who understand how to judge.
10
Therefore I say, “Listen to me. I too will declare what I know.”
11
Look, I waited for your conclusions; I listened to your insights as you sought for words.
12
I paid close attention to you. Yet no one proved Job wrong; not one of you refuted his arguments.
13
So do not claim, “We have found wisdom; let God deal with him, not man.”
14
But Job has not directed his argument to me, and I will not respond to him with your arguments.
15
Job’s friends are dismayed and can no longer answer; words have left them.
16
Should I continue to wait now that they are silent, now that they stand there and no longer answer?
17
I too will answer; yes, I will tell what I know.
18
For I am full of words, and my spirit compels me to speak.
19
My heart is like unvented wine; it is about to burst like new wineskins.
20
I must speak so that I can find relief; I must open my lips and respond.
21
I will be partial to no one, and I will not give anyone an undeserved title.
22
For I do not know how to give such titles; otherwise, my Maker would remove me in an instant.
