욥기 32장 [NIV]
-
1 So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
-
2 But Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, became very angry with Job for justifying himself rather than God.
-
3 He was also angry with the three friends, because they had found no way to refute Job, and yet had condemned him.
-
4 Now Elihu had waited before speaking to Job because they were older than he.
-
5 But when he saw that the three men had nothing more to say, his anger was aroused.
-
6 So Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite said: "I am young in years, and you are old; that is why I was fearful, not daring to tell you what I know.
-
7 I thought, Age should speak; advanced years should teach wisdom.
-
8 But it is the spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.
-
9 It is not only the old who are wise, not only the aged who understand what is right.
-
10 "Therefore I say: Listen to me; I too will tell you what I know.
-
11 I waited while you spoke, I listened to your reasoning; while you were searching for words,
-
12 I gave you my full attention. But not one of you has proved Job wrong; none of you has answered his arguments.
-
13 Do not say, We have found wisdom; let God refute him, not man.
-
14 But Job has not marshaled his words against me, and I will not answer him with your arguments.
-
15 "They are dismayed and have no more to say; words have failed them.
-
16 Must I wait, now that they are silent, now that they stand there with no reply?
-
17 I too will have my say; I too will tell what I know.
-
18 For I am full of words, and the spirit within me compels me;
-
19 inside I am like bottled-up wine, like new wineskins ready to burst.
-
20 I must speak and find relief; I must open my lips and reply.
-
21 I will show partiality to no one, nor will I flatter any man;
-
22 for if I were skilled in flattery, my Maker would soon take me away.
