1. So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2. Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled against Job. His wrath was kindled because he justified himself rather than God.
3. Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4. Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were elder than he.
5. When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
6. Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered,“I am young, and you are very old;Therefore I held back, and didn’t dare show you my opinion.
7. I said, ‘Days should speak,and multitude of years should teach wisdom.’
8. But there is a spirit in man,and the Spirit of the Almighty gives them understanding.
9. It is not the great who are wise,nor the aged who understand justice.
