ESV
MSG
1Job's three friends now fell silent. They were talked out, stymied because Job wouldn't budge an inch—wouldn't admit to an ounce of guilt.
ESV
1So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
MSG
2Then Elihu lost his temper. (Elihu was the son of Barakel the Buzite from the clan of Ram.) He blazed out in anger against Job for pitting his righteousness against God's.
ESV
2Then Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, burned with anger. He burned with anger at Job because he justified himself rather than God.
MSG
3He was also angry with the three friends because they had neither come up with an answer nor proved Job wrong.
ESV
3He burned with anger also at Job's three friends because they had found no answer, although they had declared Job to be in the wrong.
MSG
4Elihu had waited with Job while they spoke because they were all older than he.
ESV
4Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were older than he.
MSG
5But when he saw that the three other men had exhausted their arguments, he exploded with pent-up anger.
ESV
5And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, he burned with anger.
MSG
6This is what Elihu, son of Barakel the Buzite, said:"I'm a young man,and you are all old and experienced.That's why I kept quietand held back from joining the discussion.
ESV
6And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said: “I am young in years, and you are aged; therefore I was timid and afraid to declare my opinion to you.
MSG
7I kept thinking, 'Experience will tell.The longer you live, the wiser you become.'
ESV
7I said, ‘Let days speak, and many years teach wisdom.’
MSG
8But I see I was wrong—it's God's Spirit in a person,the breath of the Almighty One, that makes wise humaninsight possible.
ESV
8But it is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand.
MSG
9The experts have no corner on wisdom;getting old doesn't guarantee good sense.
ESV
9It is not the old who are wise, nor the aged who understand what is right.
MSG
10So I've decided to speak up. Listen well!I'm going to tell you exactly what I think.
ESV
10Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me; let me also declare my opinion.’
MSG
11"I hung on your words while you spoke,listened carefully to your arguments.While you searched for the right words,
ESV
11“Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your wise sayings, while you searched out what to say.
MSG
12I was all ears.And now what have you proved? Nothing.Nothing you say has even touched Job.
ESV
12I gave you my attention, and, behold, there was none among you who refuted Job or who answered his words.
MSG
13And don't excuse yourselves by saying, 'We've done our best.Now it's up to God to talk sense into him.'
ESV
13Beware lest you say, ‘We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not a man.’
MSG
14Job has yet to contend with me.And rest assured, I won't be using your arguments!
ESV
14He has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your speeches.
MSG
15"Do you three have nothing else to say?Of course you don't! You're total frauds!
ESV
15“They are dismayed; they answer no more; they have not a word to say.
MSG
16Why should I wait any longer,now that you're stopped dead in your tracks?
ESV
16And shall I wait, because they do not speak, because they stand there, and answer no more?
MSG
17I'm ready to speak my piece. That's right!It's my turn—and it's about time!
ESV
17I also will answer with my share; I also will declare my opinion.
MSG
18I've got a lot to say,and I'm bursting to say it.
ESV
18For I am full of words; the spirit within me constrains me.
MSG
19The pressure has built up, like lava beneath the earth.I'm a volcano ready to blow.
ESV
19Behold, my belly is like wine that has no vent; like new wineskins ready to burst.
MSG
20I have to speak—I have no choice.I have to say what's on my heart,
ESV
20I must speak, that I may find relief; I must open my lips and answer.
MSG
21And I'm going to say it straight—the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
ESV
21I will not show partiality to any man or use flattery toward any person.
MSG
22I was never any good at bootlicking;my Maker would make short work of me if I started in now!
ESV
22For I do not know how to flatter, else my Maker would soon take me away.
