Translated from Hebrew and Greek with AI, then checked for clarity and fidelity.

1. These three men stopped answering Job because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2. Elihu, son of Barachel the Buzite from the family of Ram, burned with anger against Job. His anger burned because he justified his soul more than God.
3. His anger also burned against his three friends because they had not found an answer and had condemned Job.
4. Elihu had waited for Job's words because they were older than him in age.
5. When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, his anger burned.
6. Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, "I am young in years, and you are very old; therefore I shrank back and feared to declare my knowledge to you."
7. I said, "Age should speak, and many years should teach wisdom."
8. But a spirit is in mortals, and the breath of the Almighty grants them understanding.
9. The great are not wise, nor do elders understand justice.
10. Therefore I said, “Listen to me; even I will show my knowledge.”
11. Behold, I waited for your words, listening to your reasonings until you searched out words.
12. I paid attention to you, and look, no one among you convicted Job or responded to his words.
13. Lest you say, "We have found wisdom; God drives him away, not man."
14. He has not ordered his words against me, nor will I answer him with your words.
15. They were dismayed, they answered no more, words ceased from them.
16. I waited because they did not speak, because they stood and answered no more.
17. I will answer my part too, and I will show my knowledge as well.
18. For I am filled with words; the spirit in my belly compels me.
19. Look, my belly is like wine that does not open—like new wineskins it bursts.
20. I will speak, that I may be refreshed. I will open my lips and answer.
21. Please do not let me show favor to any man, nor give flattering titles to any man.
22. For I do not know how to give flattering titles, or else my Maker would soon take me away.
