Job 32:6-14

Elihu Justifies His Intervention

Job 32:6-14
6
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.
7

8

10
Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
11
Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
12
Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
13

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