fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. |
| 2 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God. |
| 3 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. |
| 4 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he. |
| 5 |

| 6 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion. |
| 7 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom. |
| 8 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding. |
| 9 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice. |
| 10 |

| 11 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, Whilst ye searched out what to say. |
| 12 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Yea, I attended unto you, And, behold, there was none that convinced Job, Or that answered his words, among you. |
| 13 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man: |
| 14 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For he hath not directed his words against me; Neither will I answer him with your speeches. |
| 15 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData They are amazed, they answer no more: They have not a word to say. |
| 16 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And shall I wait, because they speak not, Because they stand still, and answer no more? |
| 17 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData I also will answer my part, I also will show mine opinion. |
| 18 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For I am full of words; The spirit within me constraineth me. |
| 19 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Behold, my breast is as wine which hath no vent; Like new wine-skins it is ready to burst. |
| 20 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer. |
| 21 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; Neither will I give flattering titles unto any man. |
| 22 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For I know not to give flattering titles; `Else' would my Maker soon take me away. |
