Job 32:1-22

32:1

So these three
<07969>

men
<0582>

ceased
<07673> (8799)

to answer
<06030> (8800)

Job
<0347>_,

because he [was] righteous
<06662>

in his own eyes
<05869>_.

{to...: Heb. from answering}

32:2

Then was kindled
<02734> (8799)

the wrath
<0639>

of Elihu
<0453>

the son
<01121>

of Barachel
<01292>

the Buzite
<0940>_,

of the kindred
<04940>

of Ram
<07410>_:

against Job
<0347>

was his wrath
<0639>

kindled
<02734> (8804)_,

because he justified
<06663> (8763)

himself
<05315>

rather than God
<0430>_.

{himself: Heb. his soul}

32:3

Also against his three
<07969>

friends
<07453>

was his wrath
<0639>

kindled
<02734> (8804)_,

because they had found
<04672> (8804)

no answer
<04617>_,

and [yet] had condemned
<07561> (8686)

Job
<0347>_.

32:4

Now Elihu
<0453>

had waited
<02442> (8765)

till Job
<0347>

had spoken
<01697>_,

because they [were] elder
<02205> <03117>

than he. {waited...: Heb. expected Job in words} {elder: Heb. elder for days}

32:5

When Elihu
<0453>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that [there was] no answer
<04617>

in the mouth
<06310>

of [these] three
<07969>

men
<0582>_,

then his wrath
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)_.

32:6

And Elihu
<0453>

the son
<01121>

of Barachel
<01292>

the Buzite
<0940>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] young
<06810> <03117>_,

and ye [are] very old
<03453>_;

wherefore I was afraid
<02119> (8804)_,

and durst
<03372> (8799)

not shew
<02331> (8763)

you mine opinion
<01843>_.

{young: Heb. few of days} {durst...: Heb. feared}

32:7

I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Days
<03117>

should speak
<01696> (8762)_,

and multitude
<07230>

of years
<08141>

should teach
<03045> (8686)

wisdom
<02451>_.

32:8

But
<0403>

[there is] a spirit
<07307>

in man
<0582>_:

and the inspiration
<05397>

of the Almighty
<07706>

giveth them understanding
<0995> (8799)_.

32:9

Great men
<07227>

are not [always] wise
<02449> (8799)_:

neither do the aged
<02205>

understand
<0995> (8799)

judgment
<04941>_.

32:10

Therefore I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

to me; I also will shew
<02331> (8762)

mine opinion
<01843>_.

32:11

Behold, I waited
<03176> (8689)

for your words
<01697>_;

I gave ear
<0238> (8686)

to your reasons
<08394>_,

whilst ye searched out
<02713> (8799)

what to say
<04405>_.

{reasons: Heb. understandings} {what...: Heb. words}

32:12

Yea, I attended
<0995> (8709)

unto you, and, behold, [there was] none of you that convinced
<03198> (8688)

Job
<0347>_,

[or] that answered
<06030> (8802)

his words
<0561>_:

32:13

Lest ye should say
<0559> (8799)_,

We have found out
<04672> (8804)

wisdom
<02451>_:

God
<0410>

thrusteth him down
<05086> (8799)_,

not man
<0376>_.

32:14

Now he hath not directed
<06186> (8804)

[his] words
<04405>

against me: neither will I answer
<07725> (8686)

him with your speeches
<0561>_.

{directed: or, ordered}

32:15

They were amazed
<02865> (8804)_,

they answered
<06030> (8804)

no more: they left off
<06275> (8689)

speaking
<04405>_.

{left...: Heb. removed speeches from themselves}

32:16

When I had waited
<03176> (8689)_,

(for they spake
<01696> (8762)

not, but stood still
<05975> (8804)_,

[and] answered
<06030> (8804)

no more;)

32:17

[I said], I will answer
<06030> (8799)

also my part
<02506>_,

I also will shew
<02331> (8762)

mine opinion
<01843>_.

32:18

For I am full
<04390> (8804)

of matter
<04405>_,

the spirit
<07307>

within
<0990>

me constraineth
<06693> (8689)

me. {matter: Heb. words} {spirit...: Heb. spirit of my belly}

32:19

Behold, my belly
<0990>

[is] as wine
<03196>

[which] hath no vent
<06605> (8735)_;

it is ready to burst
<01234> (8735)

like new
<02319>

bottles
<0178>_.

{hath...: Heb. is not opened}

32:20

I will speak
<01696> (8762)_,

that I may be refreshed
<07304> (8799)_:

I will open
<06605> (8799)

my lips
<08193>

and answer
<06030> (8799)_.

{be...: Heb. breathe}

32:21

Let me not, I pray you, accept
<05375> (8799)

any man's
<0376>

person
<06440>_,

neither let me give flattering titles
<03655> (8762)

unto man
<0120>_.

32:22

For I know
<03045> (8804)

not to give flattering titles
<03655> (8762)_;

[in so doing] my maker
<06213> (8802)

would soon
<04592>

take me away
<05375> (8799)_.
