1. So these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2. Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barakel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was aroused; his wrath was aroused against Job because he justified himself rather than God.
3. His wrath was aroused also against his three friends because they had found no answer and yet had condemned Job.
4. Now Elihu had waited until Job had spoken because they were older than he.
5. When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was aroused.
6. Elihu the son of Barakel the Buzite answered: “I am young,and you are very old;therefore I was afraidand dared not show you my opinion.
7. I said, ‘Age should speak,and multitude of years should teach wisdom.’
8. But there is a spirit in man,and the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
