King James Bible 1611
| 32:1 | So these three men ceased to answere Iob, because he was righteous in his owne eyes. |
| 32:2 | Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu, the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the kinred of Ram: against Iob was his wrath kindled, because he iustified himselfe rather then God. |
| 32:3 | Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled: because they had found no answere, and yet had condemned Iob. |
| 32:4 | Now Elihu had waited till Iob had spoken: because they were elder then he. |
| 32:5 | When Elihu saw that there was no answere in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled. |
| 32:6 | And Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite answered and sayd: I am yong, and yee are very old, wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion. |
| 32:7 | I said, Dayes should speake, and multitude of yeeres should teach wisedome. |
| 32:8 | But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almightie giueth them vnderstanding. |
| 32:9 | Great men are not alwayes wise: neither doe the aged vnderstand iudgement. |
| 32:10 | Therfore I sayd, Hearken to me: I also will shew mine opinion. |
| 32:11 | Behold, I waited for your words: I gaue eare to your reasons, whilest you searched out what to say. |
| 32:12 | Yea, I attended vnto you: and beholde, there was none of you that conuinced Iob, or that answered his words: |
| 32:13 | Lest ye should say, We haue found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man. |
| 32:14 | Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answere him with your speeches. |
| 32:15 | They were amased, they answered no more, they left off speaking. |
| 32:16 | When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more.) |
| 32:17 | I sayd, I will answere also my part, I also will shew mine opinion. |
| 32:18 | For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me. |
| 32:19 | Behold, my belly is as wine, which hath no vent, it is ready to burst like new bottles. |
| 32:20 | I will speake, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lippes, and answere. |
| 32:21 | Let me not, I pray you, accept any mans person: neither let me giue flattering titles vnto man. |
| 32:22 | For I know not to giue flattering titles: in so doing my maker would soone take me away. |
King James Bible 1611
The commissioning of the King James Bible took place at a conference at the Hampton Court Palace in London England in 1604. When King James came to the throne he wanted unity and stability in the church and state, but was well aware that the diversity of his constituents had to be considered. There were the Papists who longed for the English church to return to the Roman Catholic fold and the Latin Vulgate. There were Puritans, loyal to the crown but wanting even more distance from Rome. The Puritans used the Geneva Bible which contained footnotes that the king regarded as seditious. The Traditionalists made up of Bishops of the Anglican Church wanted to retain the Bishops Bible.
The king commissioned a new English translation to be made by over fifty scholars representing the Puritans and Traditionalists. They took into consideration: the Tyndale New Testament, the Matthews Bible, the Great Bible and the Geneva Bible. The great revision of the Bible had begun. From 1605 to 1606 the scholars engaged in private research. From 1607 to 1609 the work was assembled. In 1610 the work went to press, and in 1611 the first of the huge (16 inch tall) pulpit folios known today as "The 1611 King James Bible" came off the printing press.
