Job 32 - UPDV Updated Bible Version

^32:1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
^32:2 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified his soul rather than God.
^32:3 Also against his three companions was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
^32:4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were older than he.
^32:5 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
^32:6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and you⁺ are very old; Therefore I held back, and didn't dare show you⁺ my opinion.
^32:7 I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.
^32:8 But there is a spirit in common man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.
^32:9 It is not the great who are wise, Nor the aged who understand justice.
^32:10 Therefore I said, Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.
^32:11 Look, I waited for your⁺ words, I listened for your⁺ reasonings, While you⁺ searched out what to say.
^32:12 Yes, I attended to you⁺, And, look, there was none who convinced Job, Or that answered his words, among you⁺.
^32:13 Beware you⁺ don't say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man:
^32:14 For he has not directed his words against me; Neither will I answer him with your⁺ speeches.
^32:15 They are amazed, they answer no more: They haven't a word to say.
^32:16 And shall I wait, because they don't speak, Because they stand still, and answer no more?
^32:17 I also will answer my part, I also will show my opinion.
^32:18 For I am full of words; The spirit inside me constrains me.
^32:19 Look, my breast is as wine which has no vent; Like blacksmith's bellows it is ready to burst.
^32:20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.
^32:21 Don't let me, I pray you⁺, respect a man's person; Neither will I give flattering titles to any among man.
^32:22 For I don't know to give flattering titles; [Else] would my Maker soon take me away.
