Elihu in Anger Rebukes Job32 Then these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. 2 But the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram burned; against Job his anger burned because he justified himself [ec]before God. 3 And his anger burned against his three friends because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. 4 Now Elihu had waited [ed]to speak to Job because they were years older than he. 5 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men his anger burned. 6 So Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite [ee]spoke out and said, “I am young in years and you are old; 11 “Behold, I waited for your words, 15 “They are dismayed, they no longer answer; Elihu Claims to Speak for God33 “However now, Job, please hear my speech, 8 “Surely you have spoken in my hearing, 13 “Why do you complain against Him 19 “[ez]Man is also chastened with pain on his bed, 23 “If there is an angel as mediator for him, 29 “Behold, God does all these [fb]oftentimes with men, Elihu Vindicates God’s Justice34 Then Elihu continued and said, 2 “Hear my words, you wise men, 10 “Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding. 16 “But if you have understanding, hear this; 21 “For His eyes are upon the ways of a man, 31 “For has anyone said to God, Elihu Sharply Reproves Job35 Then Elihu continued and said, 2 “Do you think this is according to justice? 9 “Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; Elihu Speaks of God’s Dealings with Men36 Then Elihu continued and said, 2 “Wait for me a little, and I will show you 17 “But you were full of judgment on the wicked; 24 “Remember that you should exalt His work, Elihu Says God Is Back of the Storm37 “At this also my heart trembles, 14 “Listen to this, O Job, 21 “Now [gp]men do not see the light which is bright in the skies; Footnotes:
