1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
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 himself rather than God.
3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4 Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he.
5 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said,
7 I said, Days should speak,
8 But there is a spirit in man,
9 It is not the great that are wise,
10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me;
11 Behold, I waited for your words,
12 Yea, I attended unto you,
13 Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom;
14 For he hath not directed his words against me;
15 They are amazed, they answer no more:
16 And shall I wait, because they speak not,
17 I also will answer my part,
18 For I am full of words;
19 Behold, my breast is as wine which hath no vent;
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed;
21 Let me not, I pray you, respect any man’s person;
22 For I know not to give flattering titles;
