Chapter 32 So these three men ceased answering job Because he was righteous in his own eyes Then the Wrath of elahu the son of Barackled the buzite of the family of Ram was aroused against job His wrath was aroused because he Justified himself rather than God Also against his three friends his wrath Was aroused because they had found no Answer and yet had condemned job Now because they were years older than He elihu had waited to speak to job When Elijah saw that there was no answer In the mouth of these three men His wrath was aroused So elihu the son of barakul the buzite Answered and said I am young in years and you are very old Therefore I was afraid and dared not Declare my opinion to you I said age should speak and multitude of Years should teach wisdom But there is a spirit in man and the Breath of the almighty gives him Understanding Great men are not always wise nor do the Aged always understand Justice Therefore I say listen to me I also will Declare my opinion Indeed I waited for your words I listened to your reasonings while you Searched out what to say I paid close attention to you
And surely not one of you convinced job Or answered his words Lest you say we have found wisdom God will Vanquish him not man Now he has not directed his words Against me so I will not answer him with Your words They are dismayed and answer no more Words Escape them And I have waited because they did not Speak because they Stood Still and Answered no more I also will answer my part I too will declare my opinion for I am Full of words The spirit within me compels me Indeed my belly is like wine that has no Vent it is ready to burst like new wine Skins I will speak that I may find relief I must open my lips and answer Let me not I pray show partiality to Anyone Nor let me flatter any man For I do not know how to flatter Else my maker would soon take me away
