Job 31:38 ¶ "If my land cries out against me, And its furrows weep together;
Job 31:39 If I have eaten its fruit without money, Or have caused its owners to lose their lives,
Job 31:40 Let briars grow instead of wheat, And stinkweed instead of barley." The words of Job are ended.
Job 32:1 Then these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Job 32:2 But the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram burned; against Job his anger burned because he justified himself before God.
Job 32:3 And his anger burned against his three friends because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
Job 32:4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were years older than he.
Job 32:5 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men his anger burned.
Job 32:6 ¶ So Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite spoke out and said, "I am young in years and you are old; Therefore I was shy and afraid to tell you what I think.
Job 32:7 "I thought age should speak, And increased years should teach wisdom.
Job 32:8 "But it is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.
Job 32:10 "So I say, 'Listen to me, I too will tell what I think.'
Job 32:11 ¶ "Behold, I waited for your words, I listened to your reasonings, While you pondered what to say.
Job 32:12 "I even paid close attention to you; Indeed, there was no one who refuted Job, Not one of you who answered his words.
Job 32:13 "Do not say, 'We have found wisdom; God will rout him, not man.'
Job 32:14 "For he has not arranged his words against me, Nor will I reply to him with your arguments.
Job 32:15 ¶ "They are dismayed, they no longer answer; Words have failed them.
Job 32:16 "Shall I wait, because they do not speak, Because they stop and no longer answer?
Job 32:17 "I too will answer my share, I also will tell my opinion.
Job 32:18 "For I am full of words; The spirit within me constrains me.
