1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

1 וַֽיִּשְׁבְּת֡וּ שְׁלֹ֤שֶׁת הָאֲנָשִׁ֣ים הָ֭אֵלֶּה מֵעֲנֹ֣ות אֶת־אִיֹּ֑וב כִּ֤י ה֖וּא צַדִּ֣יק בְּעֵינָֽיו׃

2 Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled against Job. His wrath was kindled because he justified himself rather than God.

2 וַיִּ֤חַר אַ֨ף׀ אֱלִיה֣וּא בֶן־בַּרַכְאֵ֣ל הַבּוּזִי֮ מִמִּשְׁפַּ֪חַ֫ת רָ֥ם בְּ֭אִיֹּוב חָרָ֣ה אַפֹּ֑ו עַֽל־צַדְּקֹ֥ו נַ֝פְשֹׁ֗ו מֵאֱלֹהִֽים׃

3 Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

3 וּבִשְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת רֵעָיו֮ חָרָ֪ה אַ֫פֹּ֥ו עַ֤ל אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹא־מָצְא֣וּ מַעֲנֶ֑ה וַ֝יַּרְשִׁ֗יעוּ אֶת־אִיֹּֽוב׃

4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were elder than he.

4 וֶֽאֱלִיה֗וּ3 חִכָּ֣ה אֶת־אִ֭יֹּוב בִּדְבָרִ֑ים כִּ֤י זְֽקֵנִים־הֵ֖מָּה מִמֶּ֣נּוּ לְיָמִֽים׃

5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.

5 וַיַּ֤רְא אֱלִיה֗וּא כִּ֘י אֵ֤ין מַעֲנֶ֗ה בְּ֭פִי שְׁלֹ֥שֶׁת הָאֲנָשִׁ֗ים וַיִּ֥חַר אַפֹּֽו׃

6 Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered, "I am young, and you are very old; Therefore I held back, and didn't dare show you my opinion.

6 וַיַּ֤עַן׀ אֱלִיה֖וּא בֶן־בַּֽרַכְאֵ֥ל הַבּוּזִ֗י וַיֹּ֫אמַ֥ר צָ֘עִ֤יר אֲנִ֣י לְ֭יָמִים וְאַתֶּ֣ם יְשִׁישִׁ֑ים עַל־כֵּ֖ן זָחַ֥לְתִּי וָֽאִירָ֓א1׀ מֵחַוֹּ֖ת דֵּעִ֣י אֶתְכֶֽם׃

7 I said, 'Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.'

7 אָ֭מַרְתִּי יָמִ֣ים יְדַבֵּ֑רוּ וְרֹ֥ב נִ֗ים יֹדִ֥יעוּ חָכְמָֽה׃

8 But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.

8 אָ֭כֵן רֽוּחַ־הִ֣יא בֶאֱנֹ֑ושׁ וְנִשְׁמַ֖ת שַׁדַּ֣י תְּבִינֵֽם׃

9 It is not the great who are wise, Nor the aged who understand justice.

9 לֹֽא־רַבִּ֥ים יֶחְכָּ֑מוּ וּ֝זְקֵנִ֗ים יָבִ֥ינוּ מִשְׁפָּֽט׃

10 Therefore I said, 'Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.'

10 לָכֵ֣ן אָ֭מַרְתִּי שִׁמְעָה־לִּ֑י אֲחַוֶּ֖ה דֵּעִ֣י אַף־אָֽנִי׃

11 "Behold, I waited for your words, And I listened for your reasoning, While you searched out what to say.

11 הֵ֤ן הֹוחַ֨לְתִּי לְֽדִבְרֵיכֶ֗ם אָ֭זִין עַד־תְּב֥וּנֹֽתֵיכֶ֑ם3 עַֽד־תַּחְקְר֥וּן מִלִּֽין׃

12 Yes, I gave you my full attention, But there was no one who convinced Job, Or who answered his words, among you.

12 וְעָֽדֵיכֶ֗ם אֶתְבֹּ֫ונָ֥ן וְהִנֵּ֤ה אֵ֣ין לְאִיֹּ֣וב מֹוכִ֑יחַ עֹונֶ֖ה אֲמָרָ֣יו מִכֶּֽם׃

13 Beware lest you say, 'We have found wisdom, God may refute him, not man:'

13 פֶּן־תֹּ֣֭אמְרוּ מָצָ֣אנוּ חָכְמָ֑ה אֵ֖ל יִדְּפֶ֣נּוּ לֹא־אִֽישׁ׃

14 For he has not directed his words against me; Neither will I answer him with your speeches.

14 וְלֹא־עָרַ֣ךְ אֵלַ֣י מִלִּ֑ין וּ֝בְאִמְרֵיכֶ֗ם לֹ֣א אֲשִׁיבֶֽנּוּ׃

15 "They are amazed. They answer no more. They don't have a word to say.

15 חַ֭תּוּ לֹא־עָ֣נוּ עֹ֑וד הֶעְתִּ֖יקוּ מֵהֶ֣ם מִלִּֽים׃

16 Shall I wait, because they don't speak, Because they stand still, and answer no more?

16 וְ֭הֹוחַלְתִּי כִּי־לֹ֣א יְדַבֵּ֑רוּ כִּ֥י עָ֝מְד֗וּ לֹא־עָ֥נוּ עֹֽוד׃

17 I also will answer my part, And I also will show my opinion.

17 אַעֲנֶ֣ה אַף־אֲנִ֣י חֶלְקִ֑י אֲחַוֶּ֖ה דֵעִ֣י אַף־אָֽנִי׃

18 For I am full of words. The spirit within me constrains me.

18 כִּ֭י מָלֵ֣תִי מִלִּ֑ים הֱ֝צִיקַ֗תְנִי ר֣וּחַ בִּטְנִֽי׃

19 Behold, my breast is as wine which has no vent; Like new wineskins it is ready to burst.

19 הִנֵּֽה־בִטְנִ֗י כְּיַ֥יִן לֹא־יִפָּתֵ֑חַ כְּאֹבֹ֥ות חֲ֝דָשִׁ֗ים יִבָּקֵֽעַ׃

20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed. I will open my lips and answer.

20 אֲדַבְּרָ֥ה וְיִֽרְוַֽח־לִ֑י אֶפְתַּ֖ח שְׂפָתַ֣י וְאֶֽעֱנֶֽה׃

21 Please don't let me respect any man's person, Neither will I give flattering titles to any man.

21 אַל־נָ֭א אֶשָּׂ֣א פְנֵי־אִ֑ישׁ וְאֶל־אָ֝דָ֗ם לֹ֣א אֲכַנֶּֽה׃

22 For I don't know how to give flattering titles; Or else my Maker would soon take me away.

22 כִּ֤י לֹ֣א יָדַ֣עְתִּי אֲכַנֶּ֑ה כִּ֝מְעַ֗ט יִשָּׂאֵ֥נִי עֹשֵֽׂנִי׃
