Job 32 Comparison: KJV with Apocrypha vs Douay-Rheims
Job 32
1So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2Then 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.
3Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
5When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
6And 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.
7I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
9Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
10Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
11Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
12Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
13Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
14Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
16When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
17I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
18For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
19Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
20I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
21Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
22For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
Job 32
1So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he seemed just to himself.
2And Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite of the kindred of Ram, was angry and was moved to indignation: now he was angry against Job, because he said he was just before God.
3And he was angry with his friends, because they had not found a reasonable answer, but only had condemned Job.
4So Eliu waited while Job was speaking because they were his elders that were speaking.
5But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was exceedingly angry.
6Then Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered, and said: I am younger in days, and you are more ancient, therefore hanging down my head, I was afraid to shew you my opinion.
7For I hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.
8But, as I see, there is a spirit in men, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding.
9They that are aged are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgment.
10Therefore I will speak: Hearken to me, I also will shew you my wisdom.
11For I have waited for your words, I have given ear to your wisdom, as long as you were disputing in words.
12And as long as I thought you said some thing, I considered: but, as I see, there is none of you that can convince Job, and answer his words.
13Lest you should say: We have found wisdom, God hath cast him down, not man.
14He hath spoken nothing to me, and I will not answer him according to your words.
15They were afraid, and answered no more, and they left off speaking.
16Therefore because I have waited, and they have not spoken: they stood, and answered no more:
17I also will answer my part, and will shew my knowledge.
18For I am full of matter to speak of, and the spirit of my bowels straiteneth me.
19Behold, my belly is as new wine which wanteth vent, which bursteth the new vessels.
20I will speak and take breath a little: I will open my lips, and will answer.
21I will not accept the person of man, and I will not level God with man.
22For I know not how long I shall continue, and whether after a while my Maker may take me away.
