32:1
omiserunt autem tres viri isti respondere Iob eo quodiustus sibi videretur

32:2
et iratus indignatusque Heliu filius Barachel Buzites decognatione Ram iratus est autem adversus Iob eo quod iustum seesse diceret coram Deo

32:3
porro adversum amicos eius indignatus est eo quod noninvenissent responsionem rationabilem sed tantummodocondemnassent Iob

32:4
igitur Heliu expectavit Iob loquentem eo quod seniores seessent qui loquebantur

32:5
cum autem vidisset quod tres respondere non potuissentiratus est vehementer

32:6
respondensque Heliu filius Barachel Buzites dixit iuniorsum tempore vos autem antiquiores idcirco dimisso capiteveritus sum indicare vobis meam sententiam

32:7
sperabam enim quod aetas prolixior loqueretur et annorummultitudo doceret sapientiam

32:8
sed ut video spiritus est in hominibus et inspiratioOmnipotentis dat intellegentiam

32:9
non sunt longevi sapientes nec senes intellegunt iudicium

32:10
ideo dicam audite me ostendam vobis etiam ego meamscientiam

32:11
expectavi enim sermones vestros audivi prudentiam vestramdonec disceptaremini sermonibus

32:12
et donec putabam vos aliquid dicere considerabam sed utvideo non est qui arguere possit Iob et respondere ex vobissermonibus eius

32:13
ne forte dicatis invenimus sapientiam Deus proiecit eumnon homo

32:14
nihil locutus est mihi et ego non secundum vestrossermones respondebo illi

32:15
extimuerunt non responderunt ultra abstuleruntque a seeloquia

32:16
quoniam igitur expectavi et non sunt locuti steterunt necresponderunt ultra

32:17
respondebo et ego partem meam et ostendam scientiam meam

32:18
plenus sum enim sermonibus et coartat me spiritus uterimei

032:001
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

032:002
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

032:003
Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

032:004
Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.

032:005
When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.

032:006
And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.

032:007
I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.

032:008
But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

032:009
Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

032:010
Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.

032:011
Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.

032:012
Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:

032:013
Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.

032:014
Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.

032:015
They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.

032:016
When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)

032:017
I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.

032:018
For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

032:019
Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.

032:020
I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.

032:021
Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.

032:022
For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
