Job 32 — DRA
32Verse 1So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he seemed just to himself.Verse 2And Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, was angry and was moved to indignation: now he was angry against Job, because he said he was just before God.Verse 3And he was angry with his friends because they had not found a reasonable answer, but only had condemned Job.Verse 4So Eliu waited while Job was speaking, because they were his elders that were speaking.Verse 5But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was exceedingly angry.Verse 6Then Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said: I am younger in days, and you are more ancient; therefore hanging down my head, I was afraid to shew you my opinion.Verse 7For I hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.Verse 8But, as I see, there is a spirit in men, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding.Verse 9They that are aged are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgment.Verse 10Therefore I will speak: Hearken to me, I also will shew you my wisdom.Verse 11For I have waited for your words, I have given ear to your wisdom, as long as you were disputing in words.Verse 12And as long as I thought you said some thing, I considered: but, as I see, there is none of you that can convince Job, and answer his words.Verse 13Lest you should say: We have found wisdom, God hath cast him down, not man.Verse 14He hath spoken nothing to me, and I will not answer him according to your words.Verse 15They were afraid, and answered no more, and they left off speaking.Verse 16Therefore because I have waited, and they have not spoken: they stood, and answered no more:Verse 17I also will answer my part, and will shew my knowledge.Verse 18For I am full of matter to speak of, and the spirit of my bowels straiteneth me.Verse 19Behold, my belly is as new wine which wanteth vent, which bursteth the new vessels.Verse 20I will speak and take breath a little: I will open my lips, and will answer.Verse 21I will not accept the person of man, and I will not level God with man.Verse 22For I know not how long I shall continue, and whether after a while my Maker may take me away.
