Job 32,2

BarachelElihuJobRam
Anger

1 Så sluttet de tre mennene å svare Job, for han var rettferdig i egne øyne.

Men Elihu, sønn av Barakel fra Bus, av Rams slekt, ble harm på Job fordi han rettferdiggjorde seg selv fremfor Gud.

3 Hans vrede ble også tent mot de tre vennene, fordi de ikke hadde funnet noe svar til å motsi Job, men likevel hadde fordømt ham.

4 Elihu hadde holdt seg tilbake fra å tale til Job fordi de var eldre enn han.
