32:1 So these three 7969 men 582 ceased 7673 8799 to answer 6030 8800 Job 347, because he [was] righteous 6662 in his own eyes 5869.(to…: Heb. from answering)

32:2 Then was kindled 2734 8799 the wrath 639 of Elihu 453 the son 1121 of Barachel 1292 the Buzite 940, of the kindred 4940 of Ram 7410: against Job 347 was his wrath 639 kindled 2734 8804, because he justified 6663 8763 himself 5315 rather than God 430.(himself: Heb. his soul)

32:3 Also against his three 7969 friends 7453 was his wrath 639 kindled 2734 8804, because they had found 4672 8804 no answer 4617, and [yet] had condemned 7561 8686 Job 347.

32:4 Now Elihu 453 had waited 2442 8765 till Job 347 had spoken 1697, because they [were] elder 2205 3117 than he.(waited…: Heb. expected Job in words)(elder: Heb. elder for days)

32:5 When Elihu 453 saw 7200 8799 that [there was] no answer 4617 in the mouth 6310 of [these] three 7969 men 582, then his wrath 639 was kindled 2734 8799.

32:6 And Elihu 453 the son 1121 of Barachel 1292 the Buzite 940 answered 6030 8799 and said 559 8799, I [am] young 6810 3117, and ye [are] very old 3453; wherefore I was afraid 2119 8804, and durst 3372 8799 not shew 2331 8763 you mine opinion 1843.(young: Heb. few of days)(durst…: Heb. feared)

32:7 I said 559 8804, Days 3117 should speak 1696 8762, and multitude 7230 of years 8141 should teach 3045 8686 wisdom 2451.

32:8 But 403 [there is] a spirit 7307 in man 582: and the inspiration 5397 of the Almighty 7706 giveth them understanding 995 8799.

32:9 Great men 7227 are not [always] wise 2449 8799: neither do the aged 2205 understand 995 8799 judgment 4941.

32:10 Therefore I said 559 8804, Hearken 8085 8798 to me; I also will shew 2331 8762 mine opinion 1843.

32:11 Behold, I waited 3176 8689 for your words 1697; I gave ear 238 8686 to your reasons 8394, whilst ye searched out 2713 8799 what to say 4405.(reasons: Heb. understandings)(what…: Heb. words)

32:12 Yea, I attended 995 8709 unto you, and, behold, [there was] none of you that convinced 3198 8688 Job 347, [or] that answered 6030 8802 his words 561:

32:13 Lest ye should say 559 8799, We have found out 4672 8804 wisdom 2451: God 410 thrusteth him down 5086 8799, not man 376.

32:14 Now he hath not directed 6186 8804 [his] words 4405 against me: neither will I answer 7725 8686 him with your speeches 561.(directed: or, ordered)

32:15 They were amazed 2865 8804, they answered 6030 8804 no more: they left off 6275 8689 speaking 4405.(left…: Heb. removed speeches from themselves)

32:16 When I had waited 3176 8689, (for they spake 1696 8762 not, but stood still 5975 8804, [and] answered 6030 8804 no more;)

32:17 [I said], I will answer 6030 8799 also my part 2506, I also will shew 2331 8762 mine opinion 1843.

32:18 For I am full 4390 8804 of matter 4405, the spirit 7307 within 990 me constraineth 6693 8689 me.(matter: Heb. words)(spirit…: Heb. spirit of my belly)

32:19 Behold, my belly 990 [is] as wine 3196 [which] hath no vent 6605 8735; it is ready to burst 1234 8735 like new 2319 bottles 178.(hath…: Heb. is not opened)

32:20 I will speak 1696 8762, that I may be refreshed 7304 8799: I will open 6605 8799 my lips 8193 and answer 6030 8799.(be…: Heb. breathe)

32:21 Let me not, I pray you, accept 5375 8799 any man's 376 person 6440, neither let me give flattering titles 3655 8762 unto man 120.

32:22 For I know 3045 8804 not to give flattering titles 3655 8762; [in so doing] my maker 6213 8802 would soon 4592 take me away 5375 8799.
