1So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
“so these three men ceased to answer Job because he was righteous in his own eyes.”
“so These three men ceased to answer Job because he was righteous in his own eyes.”
2This kindled the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram. He burned with anger against Job for justifying himself rather than God,
“Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu, the son of Barashel the Buzite of the kindred of Ram. Against Job was his wrath kindled because he justified himself rather than God,”
“Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barach held the muse out of the kindred of Ram. Against Job was his wrath kindled because he justified himself rather than God.”
3and he burned with anger against Job's three friends because they had failed to refute Job, and yet had condemned him.
“Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled because they had found no answer and yet had condemned Job.”
“Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled because notice they had found no answer and Yet had condemned Job.”
“Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they found no answer and yet had condemned Job.”
4Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the others were older than he.
“Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were older than he.”
“Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were years older than him. He”
“Elihu had waited till Job had spoken because they were elder than he.”
5But when he saw that the three men had no further reply, his anger was kindled.
“When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.”
6So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite declared: "I am young in years, while you are old; that is why I was timid and afraid to tell you what I know.
“And Elihu, the son of Baracha, the Buzite, answered and said, I am young and ye are very old, wherefore I was afraid and durst not show you mine opinion.”
7I thought that age should speak, and many years should teach wisdom.
“I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.”
“I said, let days speak. And many years teach wisdom.”
“I thought age should speak, and increased years should teach wisdom,”
“I Said days should speak and the multitude of years should teach wisdom.”
8But there is a spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.
“But there is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding”
“But there is a spirit in man, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.”
“but it is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand.”
“but it is the spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.”
9It is not only the old who are wise, or the elderly who understand justice.
“Great men are not always wise. Neither do the aged understand judgment.”
“Great men are not always wise, neither do the aged understand judgment.”
“Great men are not always wise, neither do the aged necessarily understand judgment.”
“great men are not always wise, neither do the ages understand their judgment.”
“it is not the old who are wise, nor the age to understand what is right.”
10Therefore I say, 'Listen to me; I too will declare what I know.'
“Therefore, I say, listen to me. Let me also declare my opinion.”
“Therefore I said, hearken to me, I also will show my opinion.”
11Indeed, I waited while you spoke; I listened to your reasoning; as you searched for words,
“Behold, I waited for your words, I gave ear to your reasons, while ye searched out what to say.”
12I paid you full attention. But no one proved Job wrong; not one of you rebutted his arguments.
“Yes I attended unto you and behold there was none of you that convinced Job or that answered his words.”
“Yea, I attended unto you, and behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words.”
13So do not claim, 'We have found wisdom; let God, not man, refute him.'
“Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom, God thrusteth him down, not man.”
14But Job has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your arguments.
“Now he hath not directed his words against me, neither will I answer him with your speeches.”
“Now he has not directed his words against me and neither will I answer him with your speeches.”
15Job's friends are dismayed, with no more to say; words have escaped them.
“They were amazed, they answered no more, they left off speaking.”
“They were amazed and they answered no more. They left off speaking”
16Must I wait, now that they are silent, now that they stand and no longer reply?
“When I had waited, for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more,”
“when I have waited for they spake not but stood still and then answered no more.”
17I too will answer; yes, I will declare what I know.

18For I am full of words, and my spirit within me compels me.

19Behold, my belly is like unvented wine; it is about to burst like a new wineskin.
“Behold, my belly is as wine which has no vent. It is ready to burst like new bottles.”
“Behold, my belly is like unvented wine, like new wine skins, it is about to burst.”
“behold my belly. My inward is as wine which has no vent it is ready to burst like new bottles.”
20I must speak and find relief; I must open my lips and respond.
“I will speak that I may be refreshed. I will open my lips and answer.”
“Let me speak that I may get relief. Let me open my lips and answer.”
21I will be partial to no one, nor will I flatter any man.
“Let me not. I pray you accept any man's person. Neither let me give flattering titles unto man”
“Let me now be partial to no one nor flatter any man”
22For I do not know how to flatter, or my Maker would remove me in an instant.
“for I know not to give Flattering titles in so doing my maker would soon take me away.”
“for I know not to give flattering titles. In so doing, my Maker would soon take me away.”
“for I do not know how to flatter else my maker would soon take me away.”
