Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Job 31
³⁷ "I would declare to Him the number of my steps; Like a prince I would approach Him.
³⁸ "If my land cries out against me, And its furrows weep together;
³⁹ If I have eaten its fruit without money, Or have caused its owners to lose their lives,
⁴⁰ Let briars grow instead of wheat, And stinkweed instead of barley." The words of Job are ended.
Job 32
¹ Then these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
² But the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram burned; against Job his anger burned because he justified himself before God.
³ And his anger burned against his three friends because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
⁴ Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were years older than he.
⁵ And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men his anger burned.
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.
