4 Therefore, Eliu waited while Job was talking, for these were his elders that were speaking.
5 But when he saw that these three were not able to respond, he was extremely angry.
6 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.
7 For I had hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.
8 But I see now that there is only breath in men, and that it is the inspiration of the Almighty that gives understanding.
