Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
And
these three men cease
from
answering
Job, for
he `is'
righteous in his own eyes ,
So
these three men ceased
to
answer
Job, because
he was
righteous in his own eyes .
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 ;
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
himself rather
than God .
and
against his three friends hath
his anger
burned
, because that
they have
not
found an
answer, and condemn
Job.
Also
against his three friends was
his wrath
kindled
, because they had
found no
answer, and yet
had
condemned
Job.
And
Elihu hath
waited earnestly
beside
Job with
words
, for
they are
older
than he in
days
.
Now
Elihu had
waited till
Job had
spoken
, because
they were
elder
than he.
And
Elihu seeth
that there is
no answer in the mouth of the
three men, and
his anger
burneth
.
When
Elihu saw
that there was
no answer in the mouth of these
three men, then
his wrath
was
kindled
.
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.
And Elihu the
son of Barachel the Buzite answered
and said,
I am young
, and ye are very
old;
wherefore
I was
afraid
, and durst
not
shew
you mine
opinion.
I said :
Days do
speak, And multitude of years teach wisdom.
I said ,
Days should
speak, and multitude of years should
teach wisdom.
Surely
a spirit is
in man ,
And the breath
of the Mighty
One
Doth
cause
them to
understand
.
But
there
is
a spirit in man :
and the inspiration
of the Almighty
giveth
them understanding
.
The
multitude
are not wise ,
Nor
do the aged understand judgment.
Great
men
are not always
wise :
neither
do the aged understand judgment.
Therefore I have
said :
Hearken to me ,
I do
shew my
opinion --
even
I
.
Therefore I said ,
Hearken to me ;
I also
will
shew mine
opinion.
Lo
, I have
waited for your words ,
I give
ear unto
your reasons, Till
ye search
out sayings
.
Behold
, I waited for your words ;
I gave
ear to
your reasons, whilst
ye searched
out what
to
say
.
And
unto you I
attend
, And lo
, there is
no
reasoner
for
Job, `
Or '
answerer
of
his sayings
among
you.
Yea,
I
attended
unto you, and, behold,
there was
none
of
you
that
convinced
Job, or that
answered
his words:
Lest ye say, We have found wisdom ,
God doth
thrust
him away
, not man.
Lest ye should
say, We have found out
wisdom :
God thrusteth
him down
, not man.
And
he hath not set
in
array
words for
me ,
And
with
your
sayings
I do
not
answer him.
Now
he hath not directed
his
words against
me :
neither
will
I answer him with
your
speeches
.
(
They have
broken
down
, They have
not
answered again,
They removed
from
themselves
words
.
They were
amazed
, they answered no
more:
they left
off
speaking
.
And
I have
waited, but
they do
not speak
, For
they
have
stood still, They
have
not
answered any
more .
)
When
I had
waited, (for
they spake
not, but
stood still, and
answered no
more ;
)
I answer
, even
I --
my share
, I shew my
opinion --
even
I
.
I said
, I will
answer
also
my part
, I also
will
shew mine
opinion.
For I have
been
full of words
, Distressed
me
hath
the spirit of
my
breast,
For I am
full of matter
, the spirit within
me
constraineth
me.
Lo
, my breast
`
is '
as wine not
opened,
Like new bottles it
is
broken
up
.
Behold
, my belly
is as wine which
hath
no
vent;
it
is
ready
to
burst
like new bottles.
I speak, and
there
is
refreshment
to
me,
I open my lips and answer.
I will
speak, that
I may
be
refreshed:
I
will
open my lips and answer.
Let me not, I pray you, accept the
face
of
any, Nor
unto
man
give flattering titles ,
Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's
person
, neither
let
me
give flattering titles unto
man.
For I have
not known
to give flattering titles ,
In a
little
doth
my Maker take me away.
For I know
not to give flattering titles ;
in so
doing
my maker would
soon
take me away.
