1. So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2. Then Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, burned with anger. He was angry with Job because he justified himself rather than God.
3. He was also angry with Job’s three friends, because they had found no answer, and yet they had condemned Job.
4. Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because the others were older than he was.
5. But when Elihu saw that the three men had no answer in their mouths, his anger burned.
6. So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answered: “I am young in years, and you are old; that is why I held back and was afraid to tell you what I know.
7. I said, ‘Let age speak; let many years teach wisdom.’
8. But it is the spirit in people, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.
9. It is not the great who are wise, nor the elders who understand what is right.
10. So I say, ‘Listen to me; I too will declare what I know.’
11. Look, I waited for your words; I listened for your insights while you searched for what to say.
12. I gave you my full attention, but not one of you refuted Job; not one of you answered his arguments.
13. Do not say, ‘We have found wisdom; let God defeat him, not a human being.’
14. He has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your arguments.
15. They are dismayed; they answer no more; words have deserted them.
16. Must I wait, when they do not speak, when they stand there and answer no more?
17. I too will give my answer; I too will declare what I know.
18. For I am full of words; the spirit within me presses me on.
19. Look, my belly is like wine with no vent; like new wineskins it is ready to burst.
20. I must speak and find relief; I will open my lips and answer.
21. I will not show partiality to anyone, and I will not flatter any person.
22. For I do not know how to flatter; if I did, my Maker would soon carry me away.
