Job 32,4

ElihuJob
Humility

2 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.

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

5 Men da Elihu så at de tre mennene ikke hadde flere svar, ble hans vrede tent.

6 Så erklærte Elihu, sønn av Barakel fra Bus:
“Jeg er ung i år, og dere er gamle;
derfor var jeg blyg og avsto fra å uttrykke mine tanker.
