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