Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he [was] righteous in his own eyes.
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and [yet] had condemned Job.
Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they [were] elder than he.
When Elihu saw that [there was] no answer in the mouth of [these] three men, then his wrath was kindled.
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.
I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
But [there is] a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
Great men are not [always] wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
