| 32:1 | So these three men ceased to answere Iob, because he esteemed himselfe iust. |
| 32:2 | Then the wrath of Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the familie of Ram, was kindled: his wrath, I say, was kindled against Iob, because he iustified himselfe more then God. |
| 32:3 | Also his anger was kindled against his three friends, because they could not finde an answere, and yet condemned Iob. |
| 32:4 | (Now Elihu had wayted til Iob had spoken: for they were more ancient in yeeres then he) |
| 32:5 | So when Elihu saw, that there was none answere in the mouth of the three men, his wrath was kindled. |
| 32:6 | Therefore Elihu the sonne of Barachel, the Buzite answered, and sayd, I am yong in yeres, and ye are ancient: therefore I doubted, and was afraide to shewe you mine opinion. |
| 32:7 | For I said, The dayes shall speake, and the multitude of yeeres shall teach wisedome. |
| 32:8 | Surely there is a spirite in man, but the inspiration of the Almightie giueth vnderstanding. |

| 32:11 | Behold, I did waite vpon your wordes, and hearkened vnto your knowledge, whiles you sought out reasons. |
| 32:12 | Yea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that reproued Iob, nor answered his wordes: |
| 32:13 | Lest ye should say, We haue found wisedome: for God hath cast him downe, and no man. |
| 32:14 | Yet hath he not directed his words to me, neyther will I answere him by your wordes. |
| 32:15 | Then they fearing, answered no more, but left off their talke. |
| 32:16 | When I had wayted (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more) |
| 32:17 | Then answered I in my turne, and I shewed mine opinion. |
| 32:18 | For I am full of matter, and the spirite within me compelleth me. |
| 32:19 | Beholde, my belly is as the wine, which hath no vent, and like the new bottels that brast. |
| 32:20 | Therefore will I speake, that I may take breath: I will open my lippes, and will answere. |
| 32:21 | I will not now accept the person of man, neyther will I giue titles to man. |
| 32:22 | For I may not giue titles, lest my Maker should take me away suddenly. |
