So these threeH7969 menH582 ceasedH7673 to answerH6030 JobH347, because he was righteousH6662 in his own eyesH5869. {to…: Heb. from answering}
Then was kindledH2734 the wrathH639 of ElihuH453 the sonH1121 of BarachelH1292 the BuziteH940, of the kindredH4940 of RamH7410: against JobH347 was his wrathH639 kindledH2734, because he justifiedH6663 himselfH5315 rather than GodH430. {himself: Heb. his soul}
Also against his threeH7969 friendsH7453 was his wrathH639 kindledH2734, because they had foundH4672 no answerH4617, and yet had condemnedH7561 JobH347.
Now ElihuH453 had waitedH2442 till JobH347 had spokenH1697, because they were elderH2205+H3117 than he. {waited…: Heb. expected Job in words} {elder: Heb. elder for days}
When ElihuH453 sawH7200 that there was no answerH4617 in the mouthH6310 of these threeH7969 menH582, then his wrathH639 was kindledH2734.
And ElihuH453 the sonH1121 of BarachelH1292 the BuziteH940 answeredH6030 and saidH559, I am youngH6810+H3117, and ye are very oldH3453; wherefore I was afraidH2119, and durstH3372 not shewH2331 you mine opinionH1843. {young: Heb. few of days} {durst…: Heb. feared}
I saidH559, DaysH3117 should speakH1696, and multitudeH7230 of yearsH8141 should teachH3045 wisdomH2451.
ButH403 there is a spiritH7307 in manH582: and the inspirationH5397 of the AlmightyH7706 giveth them understandingH995.
Great menH7227 are not always wiseH2449: neither do the agedH2205 understandH995 judgmentH4941.
Therefore I saidH559, HearkenH8085 to me; I also will shewH2331 mine opinionH1843.
Behold, I waitedH3176 for your wordsH1697; I gave earH238 to your reasonsH8394, whilst ye searched outH2713 what to sayH4405. {reasons: Heb. understandings} {what…: Heb. words}
Yea, I attendedH995 unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convincedH3198 JobH347, or that answeredH6030 his wordsH561:
Lest ye should sayH559, We have found outH4672 wisdomH2451: GodH410 thrusteth him downH5086, not manH376.
Now he hath not directedH6186 his wordsH4405 against me: neither will I answerH7725 him with your speechesH561. {directed: or, ordered}
They were amazedH2865, they answeredH6030 no more: they left offH6275 speakingH4405. {left…: Heb. removed speeches from themselves}
When I had waitedH3176, (for they spakeH1696 not, but stood stillH5975, and answeredH6030 no more;)
I said, I will answerH6030 also my partH2506, I also will shewH2331 mine opinionH1843.
For I am fullH4390 of matterH4405, the spiritH7307 withinH990 me constrainethH6693 me. {matter: Heb. words} {spirit…: Heb. spirit of my belly}
Behold, my bellyH990 is as wineH3196 which hath no ventH6605; it is ready to burstH1234 like newH2319 bottlesH178. {hath…: Heb. is not opened}
I will speakH1696, that I may be refreshedH7304: I will openH6605 my lipsH8193 and answerH6030. {be…: Heb. breathe}
Let me not, I pray you, acceptH5375 any man'sH376 personH6440, neither let me give flattering titlesH3655 unto manH120.
For I knowH3045 not to give flattering titlesH3655; in so doing my makerH6213 would soonH4592 take me awayH5375.

Is thereH3426 any numberH4557 of his armiesH1416? and upon whom doth not his lightH216 ariseH6965?
How then can manH582 be justifiedH6663 with GodH410? or how can he be cleanH2135 that is bornH3205 of a womanH802?
Behold even to the moonH3394, and it shinethH166 not; yea, the starsH3556 are not pureH2141 in his sightH5869.
How much less manH582, that is a wormH7415? and the sonH1121 of manH120, which is a wormH8438?
Is not thy wickednessH7451 greatH7227? and thine iniquitiesH5771 infiniteH7093?
For thou hast taken a pledgeH2254 from thy brotherH251 for noughtH2600, and strippedH6584 the nakedH6174 of their clothingH899. {the naked…: Heb. the clothes of the naked}
Thou hast not given waterH4325 to the wearyH5889 to drinkH8248, and thou hast withholdenH4513 breadH3899 from the hungryH7457.
But as for the mightyH2220 manH376, he had the earthH776; and the honourable manH5375+H6440 dweltH3427 in it. {mighty…: Heb. man of arm} {honourable…: Heb. eminent, or, accepted for countenance}
Thou hast sentH7971 widowsH490 away emptyH7387, and the armsH2220 of the fatherlessH3490 have been brokenH1792.
Therefore snaresH6341 are round aboutH5439 thee, and suddenH6597 fearH6343 troublethH926 thee;

And thou sayestH559, How doth GodH410 knowH3045? can he judgeH8199 through the dark cloudH6205? {How: or, What}
Thick cloudsH5645 are a coveringH5643 to him, that he seethH7200 not; and he walkethH1980 in the circuitH2329 of heavenH8064.
Hast thou markedH8104 the oldH5769 wayH734 which wickedH205 menH4962 have troddenH1869?

Yet he filledH4390 their housesH1004 with goodH2896 things: but the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563 is farH7368 from me.
The righteousH6662 seeH7200 it, and are gladH8055: and the innocentH5355 laugh them to scornH3932.
WhereasH518 our substanceH7009 is not cut downH3582, but the remnantH3499 of them the fireH784 consumethH398. {substance: or, estate} {the remnant…: or, their excellency}
AcquaintH5532 now thyself with him, and be at peaceH7999: thereby goodH2896 shall comeH935 unto thee. {him: that is, God}
ReceiveH3947, I pray thee, the lawH8451 from his mouthH6310, and lay upH7760 his wordsH561 in thine heartH3824.
If thou returnH7725 to the AlmightyH7706, thou shalt be built upH1129, thou shalt put awayH7368 iniquityH5766 farH7368 from thy tabernaclesH168.
Then shalt thou lay upH7896 goldH1220 asH5921 dustH6083, and the gold of OphirH211 as the stonesH6697 of the brooksH5158. {as dust: or, on the dust}

How hast thou helpedH5826 him that is without powerH3581? how savestH3467 thou the armH2220 that hath noH3808 strengthH5797?
How hast thou counselledH3289 him that hath noH3808 wisdomH2451? and how hast thou plentifullyH7230 declaredH3045 the thing as it isH8454?
To whom hast thou utteredH5046 wordsH4405? and whose spiritH5397 cameH3318 from thee?
