Youngs Literal Translation |
|
| 32:1 | So these three men ceased |
And these three men cease from answering Job, for he `is' righteous in his own eyes, |
| 32:2 | 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 |
and burn doth the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job hath his anger burned, because of his justifying himself more than God; |
| 32:3 | Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. | and against his three friends hath his anger burned, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job. |
| 32:4 | Now Elihu had |
And Elihu hath waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days. |
| 32:5 | When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled. | And Elihu seeth that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burneth. |
| 32:6 | And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am |
And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answereth and saith: -- Young I `am' in days, and ye `are' age Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of shewing you my opinion. |
| 32:7 | I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. | I said: Days do speak, And multitude of years teach wisdom. |
| 32:8 | But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. | Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Doth cause them to understand. |
| 32:9 | Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. | The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment. |
| 32:10 | Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion. | Therefore I have said: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion -- even I. |
| 32:11 | Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your |
Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings. |
| 32:12 | Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words: | And unto you I attend, And lo, there is no reasoner for Job, `Or' answerer of his sayings among you. |
| 32:13 | Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man. | Lest ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him away, not man. |
| 32:14 | Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches. | And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your sayings I do not answer him. |
| 32:15 | They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking. | (They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed from themselves words. |
| 32:16 | When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;) | And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered any more.) |
| 32:17 | I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion. | I answer, even I -- my share, I shew my opinion -- even I. |
| 32:18 | For I am full of |
For I have been full of words, Distressed me hath the spirit of my breast, |
| 32:19 | Behold, my belly is as wine which |
Lo, my breast `is' as wine not opened, Like new bottles it is broken up. |
| 32:20 | I will speak, |
I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer. |
| 32:21 | Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man. | Let me not, I pray you, accept the face of any, Nor unto man give flattering titles, |
| 32:22 | For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away. | For I have not known to give flattering titles, In a little doth my Maker take me away. |
