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.
WEB
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.
WEB
2Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled against Job. His wrath was kindled 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.
WEB
3Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
MSG
4Elihu had waited with Job while they spoke because they were all older than he.
WEB
4Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were elder than he.
MSG
5But when he saw that the three other men had exhausted their arguments, he exploded with pent-up anger.
WEB
5When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
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.
WEB
6Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered, “I am young, and you are very old; Therefore I held back, and didn’t dare show you my opinion.
MSG
7I kept thinking, 'Experience will tell.The longer you live, the wiser you become.'
WEB
7I said, ‘Days should speak, and multitude of years should 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.
WEB
8But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.
MSG
9The experts have no corner on wisdom;getting old doesn't guarantee good sense.
WEB
9It is not the great who are wise, nor the aged who understand justice.
MSG
10So I've decided to speak up. Listen well!I'm going to tell you exactly what I think.
WEB
10Therefore I said, ‘Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.’
MSG
11"I hung on your words while you spoke,listened carefully to your arguments.While you searched for the right words,
WEB
11“Behold, I waited for your words, and I listened for your reasoning, 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.
WEB
12Yes, I gave you my full attention, but there was no one who convinced Job, or who answered his words, among you.
MSG
13And don't excuse yourselves by saying, 'We've done our best.Now it's up to God to talk sense into him.'
WEB
13Beware lest you say, ‘We have found wisdom, God may refute him, not man;’
MSG
14Job has yet to contend with me.And rest assured, I won't be using your arguments!
WEB
14for he has not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.
MSG
15"Do you three have nothing else to say?Of course you don't! You're total frauds!
WEB
15“They are amazed. They answer no more. They don’t have a word to say.
MSG
16Why should I wait any longer,now that you're stopped dead in your tracks?
WEB
16Shall I wait, because they don’t speak, because they stand still, and answer no more?
MSG
17I'm ready to speak my piece. That's right!It's my turn—and it's about time!
WEB
17I also will answer my part, and I also will show my opinion.
MSG
18I've got a lot to say,and I'm bursting to say it.
WEB
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.
WEB
19Behold, my breast is as wine which has no vent; like new wineskins it is ready to burst.
MSG
20I have to speak—I have no choice.I have to say what's on my heart,
WEB
20I will speak, that I may be refreshed. I will open my lips and answer.
MSG
21And I'm going to say it straight—the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
WEB
21Please don’t let me respect any man’s person, neither will I give flattering titles to any man.
MSG
22I was never any good at bootlicking;my Maker would make short work of me if I started in now!
WEB
22For I don’t know how to give flattering titles; or else my Maker would soon take me away.
