18:031:035 Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the
           Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written
           a book.

18:031:036 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a
           crown to me.

18:031:037 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince
           would I go near unto him.

18:031:038 If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise
           thereof complain;

18:031:039 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have
           caused the owners thereof to lose their life: 

18:031:040 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of
           barley.  The words of Job are ended.

18:032:001 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was
           righteous in his own eyes.

18:032:002 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the
           Buzite, of the kindred of Ram:  against Job was his wrath
           kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

18:032:003 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because
           they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

18:032:004 Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were
           elder than he.

18:032:005 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these
           three men, then his wrath was kindled.

18:032:006 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I
           am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and
           durst not shew you mine opinion.

18:032:007 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach
           wisdom.

18:032:008 But there is a spirit in man:  and the inspiration of the
           Almighty giveth them understanding.

18:032:009 Great men are not always wise:  neither do the aged understand
           judgment.

18:032:010 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine
           opinion.

18:032:011 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons,
           whilst ye searched out what to say.

18:032:012 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you
           that convinced Job, or that answered his words: 

18:032:013 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom:  God thrusteth
           him down, not man.

18:032:014 Now he hath not directed his words against me:  neither will I
           answer him with your speeches.

18:032:015 They were amazed, they answered no more:  they left off
           speaking.

18:032:016 When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and
           answered no more;)

18:032:017 I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine
           opinion.
