1. So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2. Then Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, burned with anger. He burned with anger at Job because he justified himself rather than God.
3. He burned with anger also at Job’s three friends because they had found no answer, although they had declared Job to be in the wrong.
4. Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were older than he.
5. And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, he burned with anger.
6. And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said:“I am young in years,and you are aged;therefore I was timid and afraidto declare my opinion to you.
7. I said, ‘Let days speak,and many years teach wisdom.’
8. But it is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand.
9. It is not the old who are wise,nor the aged who understand what is right.
10. Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me;let me also declare my opinion.’
