Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst you searched out what to say.
To me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
Therefore I said, Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.
Yes, I attended to you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
See this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know you it for your good.
He that is first in his own cause seems just; but his neighbor comes and searches him.
The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that has understanding searches him out.
