  32:1 ¶
And his three friends also ceased any longer to answer Job: for Job was righteous before them. |
|
32:1 ¶
So these°
three°
men°°
ceased°°
to answer°°°°
Job,°
because°
he°
[was] righteous°
in his own eyes.° |
|
32:2
Then Elihu{gr.Elius} the son of Barachiel, the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, of the country of Ausis, was angered: and he was very angry with Job, because he justified himself before the Lord. |
|
32:2
Then was kindled°°
the wrath°
of Elihu°
the son°
of Barachel°
the Buzite,°
of the kindred°°
of Ram:°
against Job°
was his wrath°
kindled,°°
because°
he justified°°
himself°
rather than Elohim.°° |
|
32:3
And he was also very angry with [his] three friends, because they were not able to return answers to Job, yet set him down for an ungodly man. |
|
32:3
Also against his three°
friends°
was his wrath°
kindled,°°
because°°
they had found°°
no°
answer,°
and [yet] had condemned°°°
Job.° |
|
32:4
But Elihu{gr.Elius} had forborne to give an answer to Job, because they were older than he. |
|
32:4
Now Elihu°
had waited°°
till°
Job°
had spoken,°
because°
they°
[were] elder°°
than°
he. |
|
32:5
And Elihu{gr.Elius} saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men; and he was angered in his wrath. |
|
32:5
When Elihu°
saw°°
that°
[there was] no°
answer°
in the mouth°
of [these] three°
men,°°
then his wrath°
was kindled.°° |
|
32:6
And Elihu{gr.Elius} the Buzite the son of Barachiel answered and said, I am younger in age, and ye are elder, wherefore I kept silence, fearing to declare to you my own knowledge. |
|
32:6
And Elihu°
the son°
of Barachel°
the Buzite°
answered°°
and said,°°
I°
[am] young,°°
and ye°
[are] very old;°°
wherefore°°
I was afraid,°°
and durst°°
not shew°°°
you mine opinion.° |
|
32:7
And I said, It is not time that speaks, though in many years [men] know wisdom: |
|
32:7
I said,°°
Days°
should speak,°°
and multitude°
of years°
should teach°°
wisdom.° |
|
32:8
but there is a spirit in mortals; and the inspiration of the Almighty is that which teaches. |
|
32:8
But°
[there is] a spirit°
in man:°
and the inspiration°
of Shaddai°
giveth them understanding.°° |
|
32:9
The long-lived are not wise [as such]; neither do the aged know judgment. |
|
32:9
Great°
men°
are not°
[always] wise:°°
neither do the aged°
understand°°
judgment.° |
|
32:10
Wherefore I said, Hear me, and I will tell you what I know. |
|
32:10
Therefore°
I said,°°
Hearken°°
to me; I°
also°
will shew°°
mine opinion.° |
|
32:11
Hearken to my words; for I will speak in your hearing, until ye shall have tried [the matter] with words: |
|
32:11
Behold,°
I waited°°
for your words;°
I gave ear°°
to°
your reasons,°
whilst°
ye searched out°°
what to say.° |
|
32:12
and I shall understand as far as you; and, behold, there was no one of you that answered Job his words in argument, |
|
32:12
Yea, I attended°°
unto°
you, and, behold,°
[there was] none°
of°
you that convinced°°
Job,°
[or] that answered°°
his words:° |
|
32:13
lest ye should say, We have found that we have added wisdom to the Lord. |
|
32:13
Lest°
ye should say,°°
We have found out°°
wisdom:°
El°
thrusteth him down,°°
not°
man.° |
|
32:14
And ye have commissioned a man to speak such words. |
|
32:14
Now he hath not°
directed°°
[his] words°
against°
me: neither°
will I answer°°
him with your speeches.° |
|
32:15
They were afraid, they answered no longer; they gave up their speaking. |
|
32:15
They were amazed,°°
they answered°°
no°
more:°
they left off°°°
speaking.° |
|
32:16
I waited, (for I had not spoken,) because they stood still, they answered not. |
|
32:16
When I had waited,°°
(for°
they spake°°
not,°
but°
stood still,°°
[and] answered°°
no°
more;)° |
|
32:17
And Elihu{gr.Elius} continued, and said, I will again speak, |
|
32:17
[I said], I°
will answer°°
also°
my part,°
I°
also°
will shew°°
mine opinion.° |
|
32:18
for I am full of words, for the spirit of my belly destroys me. |
|
32:18
For°
I am full°°
of matter,°
the spirit°
within°
me constraineth°°
me. |
|
32:19
And my belly is as a skin of sweet wine, bound up [and] ready to burst; or as a brazier's labouring bellows. |
|
32:19
Behold,°
my belly°
[is] as wine°
[which] hath no°
vent;°°
it is ready to burst°°
like new°
bottles.° |
|
32:20
I will speak, that I may open my lips and relieve myself. |
|
32:20
I will speak,°°
that I may be refreshed:°°
I will open°°
my lips°
and answer.°° |
|
32:21
For truly I will not be awed because of man, nor indeed will I be confounded before a mortal. |
|
32:21
Let me not,°
I pray you,°
accept°°
any man's°
person,°
neither°
let me give flattering titles°°
unto°
man.° |
|
32:22
For I know not how to respect persons: and if otherwise, even the moths would eat me. |
|
32:22
For°
I know°°
not°
to give flattering titles;°°
[in so doing] my maker°°
would soon°
take me away.°° |
