Douay Bible - Job Chapter 32

Job 32:1
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he seemed just to himself.

Job 32:2
And 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.

Job 32:3
And he was angry with his friends because they had not found a reasonable answer, but only had condemned Job.

Job 32:4
So Eliu waited while Job was speaking, because they were his elders that were speaking.

Job 32:5
But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was exceedingly angry.

Job 32:6
Then 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.

Job 32:7
For I hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.

Job 32:8
But, as I see, there is a spirit in men, and the inspiration of the almighty giveth understanding.

Job 32:9
They that are aged are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgment.

Job 32:10
Therefore I will speak : hearken to me, I also will shew you my wisdom.

Job 32:11
For I have waited for your words, I have given ear to your wisdom, as long as you were disputing in words.

Job 32:12
And 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.

Job 32:13
Lest you should say : We have found wisdom, God hath cast him down, not man.

Job 32:14
He hath spoken nothing to me, and I will not answer him according to your words.

Job 32:15
They were afraid, and answered no more, and they left off speaking.

Job 32:16
Therefore because I have waited, and they have not spoken : they stood, and answered no more :

Job 32:17
I also will answer my part, and will shew my knowledge.

Job 32:18
Behold, my belly is as new wine which wanteth vent, which bursteth the new vessels.

Job 32:20
I will speak and take breath a little : I will open my lips, and will answer.

Job 32:21
I will not accept the person of man, and I will not level God with man.

Job 32:22
For I know not how long I shall continue, and whether after a while my maker may take me away.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe
