1 Job’s three friends stopped. They had no more words. 2 Elihu, son of Barachel, from Buz, from the family of Ram, was mad at Job. Job said, “I am right,” not “God is right.” 3 Elihu was also mad at the three friends. They had no answer, but they said Job was bad. 4 Elihu waited to talk. They were old; he was young. ⏳ 5 Elihu saw they had no answer. He got mad again. ❌️ 6 Elihu said, “I am young. You are very old. I was scared to say my thoughts.” ➡️ 7 “I thought old ones should talk. Many years teach.” ️ 8 “But the life in us comes from God. God helps us think.” ️ 9 “Big people are not always wise. Old people do not always get it.” ❌ 10 “So now, please listen to me. I will talk too.” ➡️️ 11 “I waited for your words. I listened while you tried to find what to say.” ⏳ 12 “I watched you. None of you showed Job was wrong. No one answered him.” ❌✅ 13 “Do not say, ‘We are smart.’ Do not say, ‘God pushed Job down, not us.’” ️ 14 “Job did not talk at me. I will not copy your words to him.” ♂️️ 15 “The friends were surprised. They were quiet.” 16 “I waited more. They still did not speak. They stood still.” ⏳♂️ 17 “So I will speak now. I will share my thoughts.” ️ 18 “I am full of words inside. I must speak.” ️ 19 “I feel like a bottle with no hole. I may pop like a new bottle.” 20 “I will talk to feel better. I will open my mouth and answer.” ️ 21 “I will not pick sides. I will not use fake nice names.” ⚖️ 22 “I do not know how to flatter. If I do, God who made me may stop me.” ⚠️
