| 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 kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God. |
| 32:2 | 那時有布西人、蘭族巴拉迦的兒子以利戶、向約伯發怒、因約伯自以為義、不以 神為義。 |
| 32:2 | 那时有布西人，兰族巴拉迦的儿子，以利户向约伯发怒。因约伯自以为义，不以神为义。 |
| gen:22:21 | Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram, |
| jer:25:23 | Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners, |
| job:4:17 | Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker? |
| job:34:5 | For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment. |
| job:35:2 | Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's? |
| job:40:8 | Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? |

| 32:3 | Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. |
| 32:4 | Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he. |
| 32:5 | When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled. |
| 32:6 | 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. |
| 32:7 | I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. |
| 32:8 | But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. |
| 32:9 | Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. |
| 32:10 | Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion. |
| 32:11 | Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say. |
| 32:12 | Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words: |
| 32:13 | Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man. |
| 32:14 | Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches. |
| 32:15 | They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking. |
| 32:16 | When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;) |
| 32:17 | I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion. |
| 32:18 | For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me. |
| 32:19 | Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles. |
| 32:20 | I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will 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. |
| 32:22 | For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away. |
