Elihu in Anger Rebukes Job | ||||
 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 Then these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. | 1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. | 1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. | 1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he seemed just to himself. | 1 And these three men cease from answering Job, for he is righteous in his own eyes, | 2 But the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram burned; against Job his anger burned because he justified himself before God. | 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. | 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. | 2 And Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, was angry and was moved to indignation : now he was angry against Job, because he said he was just before God. | 2 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; | 3 And his anger burned against his three friends because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. | 3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. | 3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. | 3 And he was angry with his friends because they had not found a reasonable answer, but only had condemned Job. | 3 and against his three friends hath his anger burned, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job. | 4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were years older than he. | 4 Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he. | 4 Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he. | 4 So Eliu waited while Job was speaking, because they were his elders that were speaking. | 4 And Elihu hath waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days. | 5 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men his anger burned. | 5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled. | 5 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled. | 5 But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was exceedingly angry. | 5 And Elihu seeth that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burneth. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 So Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite spoke out and said, "I am young in years and you are old; Therefore I was shy and afraid to tell you what I think. | 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. | 6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion. | 6 Then Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said : I am younger in days, and you are more ancient; therefore hanging down my head, I was afraid to shew you my opinion. | 6 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. | 7 "I thought age should speak, And increased years should teach wisdom. | 7 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. | 7 I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom. | 7 For I hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom. | 7 I said: Days do speak, And multitude of years teach wisdom. | 8 "But it is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding. | 8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. | 8 But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding. | 8 But, as I see, there is a spirit in men, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding. | 8 Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Doth cause them to understand. | 9 "The abundant in years may not be wise, Nor may elders understand justice. | 9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. | 9 It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice. | 9 They that are aged are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgment. | 9 The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment. | 10 "So I say, 'Listen to me, I too will tell what I think.' | 10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion. | 10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show mine opinion. | 10 Therefore I will speak : Hearken to me, I also will shew you my wisdom. | 10 Therefore I have said: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion -- even I. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 "Behold, I waited for your words, I listened to your reasonings, While you pondered what to say. | 11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say. | 11 Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, Whilst ye searched out what to say. | 11 For I have waited for your words, I have given ear to your wisdom, as long as you were disputing in words. | 11 Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings. | 12 "I even paid close attention to you; Indeed, there was no one who refuted Job, Not one of you who answered his words. | 12 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words: | 12 Yea, I attended unto you, And, behold, there was none that convinced Job, Or that answered his words, among you. | 12 And as long as I thought you said some thing, I considered : but, as I see, there is none of you that can convince Job, and answer his words. | 12 And unto you I attend, And lo, there is no reasoner for Job, Or answerer of his sayings among you. | 13 "Do not say, 'We have found wisdom; God will rout him, not man.' | 13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man. | 13 Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man: | 13 Lest you should say : We have found wisdom, God hath cast him down, not man. | 13 Lest ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him away, not man. | 14 "For he has not arranged his words against me, Nor will I reply to him with your arguments. | 14 Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches. | 14 For he hath not directed his words against me; Neither will I answer him with your speeches. | 14 He hath spoken nothing to me, and I will not answer him according to your words. | 14 And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your sayings I do not answer him. | 15 "They are dismayed, they no longer answer; Words have failed them. | 15 They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking. | 15 They are amazed, they answer no more: They have not a word to say. | 15 They were afraid, and answered no more, and they left off speaking. | 15 (They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed from themselves words. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 "Shall I wait, because they do not speak, Because they stop and no longer answer? | 16 When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;) | 16 And shall I wait, because they speak not, Because they stand still, and answer no more? | 16 Therefore because I have waited, and they have not spoken : they stood, and answered no more : | 16 And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered any more.) | 17 "I too will answer my share, I also will tell my opinion. | 17 I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion. | 17 I also will answer my part, I also will show mine opinion. | 17 I also will answer my part, and will shew my knowledge. | 17 I answer, even I -- my share, I shew my opinion -- even I. | 18 "For I am full of words; The spirit within me constrains me. | 18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me. | 18 For I am full of words; The spirit within me constraineth me. | 18 | 18 For I have been full of words, Distressed me hath the spirit of my breast, | 19 "Behold, my belly is like unvented wine, Like new wineskins it is about to burst. | 19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles. | 19 Behold, my breast is as wine which hath no vent; Like new wine-skins it is ready to burst. | 19 Behold, my belly is as new wine which wanteth vent, which bursteth the new vessels. | 19 Lo, my breast is as wine not opened, Like new bottles it is broken up. | 20 "Let me speak that I may get relief; Let me open my lips and answer. | 20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer. | 20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer. | 20 I will speak and take breath a little : I will open my lips, and will answer. | 20 I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 21 "Let me now be partial to no one, Nor flatter any man. | 21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man. | 21 Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; Neither will I give flattering titles unto any man. | 21 I will not accept the person of man, and I will not level God with man. | 21 Let me not, I pray you, accept the face of any, Nor unto man give flattering titles, | 22 "For I do not know how to flatter, Else my Maker would soon take me away. | 22 For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away. | 22 For I know not to give flattering titles; Else would my Maker soon take me away. | 22 For I know not how long I shall continue, and whether after a while my Maker may take me away. | 22 For I have not known to give flattering titles, In a little doth my Maker take me away. |
