1. So these three men ceased to answer Job because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2. Then the wrath of Elihu, the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, was kindled; against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
3. Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4. Now Elihu had waited until Job had spoken because they were all elder than he.
5. But when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
6. And Elihu, the son of Barachel, the Buzite, answered and said, I am younger, and ye are older; therefore, I was afraid, and I feared to declare unto you my opinion.
7. I said, Days shall speak, and the multitude of years shall declare wisdom.
8. Certainly there is a spirit in man, and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding.
9. Great men are not always wise; neither do the aged understand judgment.
