Job 32

About Job Job wrestles with why the righteous suffer, through Job's losses, his friends' arguments and God's answer.

So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.SelectedJob 32:1Ask

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.SelectedJob 32:2Ask

Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.SelectedJob 32:3Ask

Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.SelectedJob 32:4Ask

When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.SelectedJob 32:5Ask

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.SelectedJob 32:6Ask

I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.SelectedJob 32:7Ask

But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.SelectedJob 32:8Ask

Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.SelectedJob 32:9Ask

Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.SelectedJob 32:10Ask

Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.SelectedJob 32:11Ask

Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:SelectedJob 32:12Ask

Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.SelectedJob 32:13Ask

Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.SelectedJob 32:14Ask

They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.SelectedJob 32:15Ask

When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)SelectedJob 32:16Ask

I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.SelectedJob 32:17Ask

For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.SelectedJob 32:18Ask

Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.SelectedJob 32:19Ask

I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.SelectedJob 32:20Ask

Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.SelectedJob 32:21Ask

For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.SelectedJob 32:22Ask
