Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Doth cause them to understand.

And these three men cease from answering Job, for he is 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;

Let me not, I pray you, accept the face of any, Nor unto man give flattering titles,

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.

For I have been full of words, Distressed me hath the spirit of my breast,

Lo, my breast is as wine not opened, Like new bottles it is broken up.

The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.

I said: Days do speak, And multitude of years teach wisdom.

And Elihu hath waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.

and against his three friends hath his anger burned, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.

Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings.

And Elihu seeth that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burneth.

And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your sayings I do not answer him.

Lest ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him away, not man.

(They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed from themselves words.

And unto you I attend, And lo, there is no reasoner for Job, Or answerer of his sayings among you.

Therefore I have said: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion -- even I.

And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered any more.)

For I have not known to give flattering titles, In a little doth my Maker take me away.

I answer, even I -- my share, I shew my opinion -- even I.

I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.
