1 So these three men refused to answer Job further, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2 Then Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, became very angry. He was angry with Job for justifying himself rather than God.
3 With Job’s three friends he was also angry, because they could not find an answer, and so declared Job guilty.
4 Now Elihu had waited before speaking to Job, because the others were older than he was.
5 But when Elihu saw that the three men had no further reply, he became very angry.
6 So Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite spoke up:“I am young, but you are elderly;that is why I was fearful,and afraid to explain to you what I know.
7 I said to myself, ‘Age should speak,and length of years should make wisdom known.’
