1. And these three men cease from answering Job, for he is righteous in his own eyes,
|
1. So these H428 three H7969 men H376 ceased H7673 to answer H4480 H6030 H853 Job H347 , because H3588 he H1931 was righteous H6662 in his own eyes H5869 .
|
|
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;
|
2. Then was kindled H2734 the wrath H639 of Elihu H453 the son H1121 of Barachel H1292 the Buzite H940 , of the kindred H4480 H4940 of Ram H7410 : against Job H347 was his wrath H639 kindled H2734 , because H5921 he justified H6663 himself H5315 rather than God H4480 H430 .
|
|
3. and against his three friends hath his anger burned, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.
|
3. Also against his three H7969 friends H7453 was his wrath H639 kindled H2734 , because H5921 H834 they had found H4672 no H3808 answer H4617 , and yet had condemned H7561 H853 Job H347 .
|
|
4. And Elihu hath waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.
|
4. Now Elihu H453 had waited H2442 till H853 Job H347 had spoken H1697 , because H3588 they H1992 were elder H2205 H3117 than H4480 he.
|
|
5. And Elihu seeth that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burneth.
|
5. When Elihu H453 saw H7200 that H3588 there was no H369 answer H4617 in the mouth H6310 of these three H7969 men H376 , then his wrath H639 was kindled H2734 .
|
|
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.
|
6. And Elihu H453 the son H1121 of Barachel H1292 the Buzite H940 answered H6030 and said H559 , I H589 am young H6810 , and ye H859 are very old H3453 H3117 ; wherefore H5921 H3651 I was afraid H2119 , and durst H3372 not show H4480 H2331 you mine opinion H1843 .
|
|
7. I said: Days do speak, And multitude of years teach wisdom.
|
7. I said H559 , Days H3117 should speak H1696 , and multitude H7230 of years H8141 should teach H3045 wisdom H2451 .
|
|
8. Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Doth cause them to understand.
|
8. But H403 there is a spirit H7307 in man H582 : and the inspiration H5397 of the Almighty H7706 giveth them understanding H995 .
|
|
9. The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.
|
9. Great H7227 men are not H3808 always wise H2449 : neither do the aged H2205 understand H995 judgment H4941 .
|
|
10. Therefore I have said: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion -- even I.
|
10. Therefore H3651 I said H559 , Hearken H8085 to me; I H589 also H637 will show H2331 mine opinion H1843 .
|
|
11. Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings.
|
11. Behold H2005 , I waited H3176 for your words H1697 ; I gave ear H238 to H5704 your reasons H8394 , whilst H5704 ye searched out H2713 what to say H4405 .
|
|
12. And unto you I attend, And lo, there is no reasoner for Job, Or answerer of his sayings among you.
|
12. Yea , I attended H995 unto H5704 you, and, behold H2009 , there was none H369 of H4480 you that convinced H3198 Job H347 , or that answered H6030 his words H561 :
|
|
13. Lest ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him away, not man.
|
13. Lest H6435 ye should say H559 , We have found out H4672 wisdom H2451 : God H410 thrusteth him down H5086 , not H3808 man H376 .
|
|
14. And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your sayings I do not answer him.
|
14. Now he hath not H3808 directed H6186 his words H4405 against H413 me: neither H3808 will I answer H7725 him with your speeches H561 .
|
|
15. (They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed from themselves words.
|
15. They were amazed H2865 , they answered H6030 no H3808 more H5750 : they left off H6275 H4480 speaking H4405 .
|
|
16. And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered any more.)
|
16. When I had waited H3176 , ( for H3588 they spoke H1696 not H3808 , but H3588 stood still H5975 , and answered H6030 no H3808 more H5750 ;)
|
|
17. I answer, even I -- my share, I shew my opinion -- even I.
|
17. I said , I H589 will answer H6030 also H637 my part H2506 , I H589 also H637 will show H2331 mine opinion H1843 .
|
|
18. For I have been full of words, Distressed me hath the spirit of my breast,
|
18. For H3588 I am full H4390 of matter H4405 , the spirit H7307 within H990 me constraineth H6693 me.
|
|
19. Lo, my breast is as wine not opened, Like new bottles it is broken up.
|
19. Behold H2009 , my belly H990 is as wine H3196 which hath no H3808 vent H6605 ; it is ready to burst H1234 like new H2319 bottles H178 .
|
|
20. I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.
|
20. I will speak H1696 , that I may be refreshed H7304 : I will open H6605 my lips H8193 and answer H6030 .
|
|
21. Let me not, I pray you, accept the face of any, Nor unto man give flattering titles,
|
21. Let me not H408 , I pray you H4994 , accept H5375 any man H376 's person H6440 , neither H3808 let me give flattering titles H3655 unto H413 man H120 .
|
|
22. For I have not known to give flattering titles, In a little doth my Maker take me away.
|
22. For H3588 I know H3045 not H3808 to give flattering titles H3655 ; in so doing my maker H6213 would soon H4592 take me away H5375 .
