"Therefore, Eliu waited while Job was talking, for these were his elders that were speaking. "
— Job 32:4, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.”
“Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he. ”
“Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were elder than he.”
“Now Elihu had waited before speaking to Job, because the others were older than he was.”
“So Eliu waited while Job was speaking because they were his elders that were speaking.”
“Now Elihu had kept quiet while Job was talking, because they were older than he;”
“Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.”
But these three men ceased to answer Job, because he considered himself justified.
And Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, was angry and indignant. But he was angry against Job because he described himself to be just in the presence of God.
Moreover, he was indignant with his friends because they had not found a reasonable response, except in so far as they condemned Job.
Therefore, Eliu waited while Job was talking, for these were his elders that were speaking.
But when he saw that these three were not able to respond, he was extremely angry.
And so Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite responded by saying: I am younger in years, and you are more ancient; therefore, I kept my head low, for I was afraid to reveal to you my opinion.
For I had hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.
