Behold, I am toward God even as thou art: I also am formed out of the clay.

He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, And with continual strife in his bones;
He putteth my feet in the stocks, He marketh all my paths.
I also will answer my part, I also will show mine opinion.
For I know not to give flattering titles; `Else' would my Maker soon take me away.
Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, And hearken to all my words.
Behold now, I have opened my mouth; My tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
And shall I wait, because they speak not, Because they stand still, and answer no more?
Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man:
Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; Neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.
Job 33
Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, Whilst ye searched out what to say.
Yea, I attended unto you, And, behold, there was none that convinced Job, Or that answered his words, among you.
They are amazed, they answer no more: They have not a word to say.
I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.
Behold, my breast is as wine which hath no vent; Like new wine-skins it is ready to burst.
Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show mine opinion.
For I am full of words; The spirit within me constraineth me.
For he hath not directed his words against me; Neither will I answer him with your speeches.
I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.
Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, So that I kept silence, and went not out of the door-
But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
Job 32
And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
I would declare unto him the number of my steps; As a prince would I go near unto him.
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, Or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he.
Oh that I had one to hear me! (Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me); And `that I had' the indictment which mine adversary hath written!
It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice.
