Elihu Justifies His Intervention

Job 32:6-14

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.

For I hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.

But, as I see, there is a spirit in men, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding.

They that are aged are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgment.

Therefore I will speak: Hearken to me, I also will shew you my wisdom.

For I have waited for your words, I have given ear to your wisdom, as long as you were disputing in words.

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.

Lest you should say: We have found wisdom, God hath cast him down, not man.

He hath spoken nothing to me, and I will not answer him according to your words.
