CHAP. XXXII. 1 Elihu is angry with Iob and his three friends. 6 Because wisedome cometh not from age, he excuseth the boldnesse of his youth. 11 He reprooueth them for not satisfying of Iob. 16 His zeale to speake.

1   
So these three men ceased note to answere Iob, because he was righteous in his owne eyes.

2   
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu, the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the kinred of Ram: against Iob was his wrath kindled, because he iustified note himselfe rather then God.

3   
Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled: because they had found no answere, and yet had condemned Iob.

4   
Now Elihu had note waited till Iob Elihu reproueth Iob, and others. had spoken: because they were note elder then he.

5   
When Elihu saw that there was no answere in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.

6   
And Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite answered and sayd: I am note yong, and yee are very old, wherefore I was afraid, and note durst not shew you mine opinion.

7   
I said, Dayes should speake, and multitude of yeeres should teach wisedome.

8   
noteBut there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almightie giueth them vnderstanding.

9   
Great men are not alwayes wise: neither doe the aged vnderstand iudgement.

10   
Therfore I sayd, Hearken to me: I also will shew mine opinion.

11   
Behold, I waited for your words: I gaue eare to your note reasons, whilest you searched out note what to say.

12   
Yea, I attended vnto you: and beholde, there was none of you that conuinced Iob, or that answered his words:

13   
Lest ye should say, We haue found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.

14   
Now he hath not note directed his words against me: neither will I answere him with your speeches.

15   
They were amased, they answered no more, note they left off speaking.

16   
When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more.)

17   
I sayd, I will answere also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.

18   
For I am full of note matter, the note spirit within me constraineth me.

19   
Behold, my belly is as wine, which note hath no vent, it is ready to burst like new bottles.

20   
I will speake, note that I may be refreshed: I will open my lippes, and answere.

21   
Let me not, I pray you, accept any mans person: neither let me giue flattering titles vnto man.

22   
For I know not to giue flattering titles: in so doing my maker would soone take me away. 469
