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.
32:6 So Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, answered and said: "I am young in years, and you are very old; Therefore I was afraid, And dared not declare my opinion to you.

32:10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.

32:11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
32:11 Indeed I waited for your words, I listened to your reasonings, while you searched out what to say.

32:12 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, [there was] none of you that convinced Job, [or] that answered his words:
32:12 I paid close attention to you; And surely not one of you convinced Job, Or answered his words--

32:13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
32:13 Lest you say, 'We have found wisdom'; God will vanquish him, not man.

32:14 Now he hath not directed [his] words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
32:14 Now he has not directed his words against me; So I will not answer him with your words.

32:15 They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
32:15 "They are dismayed and answer no more; Words escape them.

32:16 When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, [and] answered no more;)
32:16 And I have waited, because they did not speak, Because they stood still and answered no more.

32:17 [I said], I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.

32:18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
32:18 For I am full of words; The spirit within me compels me.

32:19 Behold, my belly [is] as wine [which] hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.

32:20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
32:20 I will speak, that I may find relief; I must open my lips and answer.

32:21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
32:21 Let me not, I pray, show partiality to anyone; Nor let me flatter any man.

32:22 For I know not to give flattering titles; [in so doing] my maker would soon take me away.
32:22 For I do not know how to flatter, Else my Maker would soon take me away.
