6. So Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite spoke out and said, "I am young in years and you are old; Therefore I was shy and afraid to tell you what I think.
7. "I thought age should speak, And increased years should teach wisdom.
8. "But it is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.
9. "The abundant in years may not be wise, Nor may elders understand justice.
10. "So I say, 'Listen to me, I too will tell what I think.'
11. "Behold, I waited for your words, I listened to your reasonings, While you pondered what to say.
12. "I even paid close attention to you; Indeed, there was no one who refuted Job, Not one of you who answered his words.
13. "Do not say, 'We have found wisdom; God will rout him, not man.'
14. "For he has not arranged his words against me, Nor will I reply to him with your arguments.
15. "They are dismayed, they no longer answer; Words have failed them.
16. "Shall I wait, because they do not speak, Because they stop and no longer answer?
17. "I too will answer my share, I also will tell my opinion.
18. "For I am full of words; The spirit within me constrains me.
19. "Behold, my belly is like unvented wine, Like new wineskins it is about to burst.
