Job 32:6

¶ 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.

And Elihu {H453} the son {H1121} of Barachel {H1292} the Buzite {H940} answered {H6030} and said {H559}, I am young {H6810}{H3117}, and ye are very old {H3453}; wherefore I was afraid {H2119}, and durst {H3372} not shew {H2331} you mine opinion {H1843}.

Elihu the son of Barakh'el the Buzi said: "I am young, and you are old, so I held back from telling you my opinion.

So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite declared: “I am young in years, while you are old; that is why I was timid and afraid to tell you what I know.

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion.
