They are amazed, they answer no more: They have not a word to say.

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

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.

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

For I am full of words; The spirit within me constraineth me.

Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; Neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.

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

Behold, my breast is as wine which hath no vent; Like new wine-skins it is ready to burst.

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

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

And shall I wait, because they speak not, Because they stand still, and answer no more?

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

If the men of my tent have not said, Who can find one that hath not been filled with his meat?

Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder; I would bind it unto me as a crown:

I would declare unto him the number of my steps; As a prince would I go near unto him.

If my land crieth out against me, And the furrows thereof weep together;

(Yea, I have not suffered by mouth to sin By asking his life with a curse);

(The sojourner hath not lodged in the street; But I have opened my doors to the traveller);

If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, Or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:

If like Adam I have covered my transgressions, By hiding mine iniquity in my bosom,

If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, Because I saw my help in the gate:
