Καὶ ἐπαύσατο Ἰὼβ ῥήμασιν·

(¹)ἡσύχασαν δὲ καὶ οἱ τρεῖς φίλοι αὐτοῦ ἔτι ἀντειπεῖν Ἰὼβ,

ἦν γὰρ Ἰὼβ δίκαιος ἐναντίον αὐτῶν.

ὠργίσθη δὲ Ἐλιοῦς ὁ τοῦ Βαραχιὴλ ὁ Βουζείτης ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας

Ῥάμ, τῆς Αὐσείτιδος χώρας·

ὠργίσθη δὲ τῷ Ἰὼβ σφόδρα, διότι ἀπέφηνεν ἑαυτὸν δίκαιον

ἐναντίον Κυρίου.

καὶ κατὰ τῶν τριῶν δὲ φίῦλων ὠργίσθη σφόδρα, διότι οὐκ ἠδυνή-

θησαν ἀποκριθῆναι ἀντίθετα Ἰὼβ,

καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτὸν εἶναι ἀσεβῆ.

Ἐλους δὲ ὑπέμεινεν δοῦναι ἀπόκρισιν Ἰώβ, ὅτι πρεσβύτεροι

αὐτοῦ εἰσιν ἡμέραις.

καὶ εἶδεν Ἐλους ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀπόκρισις ἐν στόματι τῶν τριῶν

ἀνδρῶν,

καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ.

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἐλιοῦς ὁ τοῦ Βαραχιὴλ ὁ Βουζείτης εἶπεν

Νεώτερος μέν εὶμι τῷ χρόνῳ, ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε πρεσβύτεροι·

διὸ ἡσύχασα, φοβηθεὶς τοῦ ὑμῖν ἀναγγεῖλαι τὴν ἐμαυτοῦ

ἐπιστήμην.

εἶπα δὲ ὅτι Οὐχ ὁ χρόνος ἐστὶν ὁ λαλῶν,

ἐν πολλοῖς δὲ ἔτεσιν οὐκ οἴδασιν σοφίαν·

ἀλλὰ πνεῦμά ἐστιν ἐν βροτοῖς,

πνοὴ δὲ Μαντοκράτορός ἐστιν ἡ διδάσκουσα·

οὐχ οἱ πολυχρόνιοί εἰσιν σοφοί, οὐδʼ οἱ γέροντες οἴδασιν κρίμα.

διὸ εἶπα Ἀκούσατέ μου, καὶ ἀναγγελῶ ὑμῖν ἃ οἶδα·

ἐνωτίζεσθέ μου τὰ ῥήματα ὑμῶν ἀκουόντων,

ἄχρι οὗ ἐτάσητε λόγους.

καὶ μέχρι ὑμῶν συνήσω·

καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἦν τῷ Ἰὼβ ἐλέγχων,

ἀνταποκρινόμενος ῥήματα αὐτοῦ ἐξ ὑμῶν.

ἵνα μὴ εἶπητε Εὕρομεν σοφίαν Κυρίῳ προσθέμενοι·

ἀνθρώπῳ δὲ ἐπετρέψατε λαλῆσαι τοιαῦτα ῥήματα.

ἐπτοήθησαν, οὐκ ἀπεκρίθησαν ἔτι,

ἐπαλαίωσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν λόγους.

ὑπέμεινα, οὐ γὰρ ἐλάλησα·

ὅτι ἔστησαν, οὐκ ἀπεκρίθησαν.

῾Υπολαβὼν δὲ Ἐλιοῦς λέγει

Πάλιν λαλήσω· πλήρης γάρ εἰμι ῥημάτων,

ὀλέκει γάρ με τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς γαστρός·

ἡ δὲ γαστὴρ μου ὥσπερ ἀσκὸς γλεύκους ζέων δεδεμένος,

ἤ ὥσπερ φυσητὴρ χαλκέως ἐρρηγώς.

λαλήσω, ἳνα ἀναπαύσωμαι, ἀνοίξας τὰ χείλη·

ἄνθρωπον γὰρ οὐ μὴ αἰσχυνθῶ·

ἀλλὰ μὴν οὐδὲ βροτὸν οὐ μὴ ἐντραπῶ·

οὐ γὰρ ἐπίσταμαι θαυμάσαι πρόσωπα·

εἰ δὲ μή, καὶ ἐμὲ σῆτες ἔδονται.

Job Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 32 focus

So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

Then the wrath of Elihu, the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled against Job. His wrath was kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

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

Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were elder than he.

When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.

Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered, I am young, and you are very old; Therefore I held back, and didn’t dare show you my opinion.

I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.

But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.

It is not the great who are wise, Nor the aged who understand justice.

Therefore I said, Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.

Behold, I waited for your words, And I listened for your reasoning, While you searched out what to say.

Yes, I gave you my full attention, But there was no one who convinced Job, Or who answered his words, among you.

Beware lest you say, We have found wisdom, God may refute him, not man:

For he has not directed his words against me; Neither will I answer him with your speeches.

They are amazed. They answer no more. They don’t have a word to say.

Shall I wait, because they don’t speak, Because they stand still, and answer no more?

I also will answer my part, And I also will show my opinion.

For I am full of words. The spirit within me constrains me.

Behold, my breast is as wine which has no vent; Like new wineskins it is ready to burst.

I will speak, that I may be refreshed. I will open my lips and answer.

Please don’t let me respect any man’s person, Neither will I give flattering titles to any man.

For I don’t know how to give flattering titles; Or else my Maker would soon take me away.

[6] And then indeed he took courage, and answering he spoke a word: 'Hear, friends, and let not each of you be indignant with anger, because I am the youngest in birth among you.' I am younger in age, but you are elders; therefore I greatly fear, and I did not dare to speak out. For it is a shame for a young man to speak face to face with an elder.
