Job 32:2-11 American Standard Version (ASV)

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.

3. Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

4. Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he.

5. And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.

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 show you mine opinion.

7. I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.

8. But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

9. It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice.

10. Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show mine opinion.

11. Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, Whilst ye searched out what to say.
