7. I said, Yamim should speak, and multitude of shanim should teach chochmah.
8. But there is a ruach in enosh, and the neshamat Shaddai giveth them binah.
9. Great men are not always wise, neither do the zekenim understand mishpat.
10. Therefore I said, Pay heed to me; I also will tell of what I have da'as.
11. Hen (behold), I waited for your dvarim; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
12. Yea, I attended unto you, and, hinei, there was none of you that proved Iyov wrong, or that answered his words.
13. Yet do not say, We have found chochmah; El may vanquish him, lo ish (not man).
14. Now he hath not directed his millin (words) against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15. They were amazed; they answered no od (more); they left off speaking.
16. When I had waited, (for they spoke not, but stood still, and answered no od [more]);
17. I said, I will answer also my chelek (portion); I also will show of mine da'as.
18. For I am full of millim (words), the ruach within me compelleth me.
19. Hinei, my beten is like yayin which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like ovot chadashim (new wineskins).
20. I will speak that I may be relieved; I will open my sfatayim and answer.
21. Let me not, now, show any man partiality, neither let me flatter adam.
22. For I am not skilled in flattery; in so doing Oseini (my Maker) would soon take me away.
