全新四年樂活讀經
32:1 於是這三個人，因約伯自以為義就不再回答他。
32:2 那時有布西人蘭族巴拉迦的兒子以利戶向約伯發怒；因約伯自以為義，不以 神為義。
32:3 他又向約伯的三個朋友發怒；因為他們想不出回答的話來，仍以約伯為有罪。
32:4 以利戶要與約伯說話，就等候他們，因為他們比自己年老。
32:5 以利戶見這三個人口中無話回答，就怒氣發作。
32:6 布西人巴拉迦的兒子以利戶回答說：我年輕，你們老邁；因此我退讓，不敢向你們陳說我的意見。
32:7 我說，年老的當先說話；壽高的當以智慧教訓人。
32:8 但在人裡面有靈；全能者的氣使人有聰明。
32:9 尊貴的不都有智慧；壽高的不都能明白公平。
32:10 因此我說：你們要聽我言；我也要陳說我的意見。
默想: 以利戶是爆發的火山，是個充滿憤怒的年輕人。他受不了約伯的自以為義；而且對於約伯三友無力回答約伯的話而大大動怒。
以利戶認為雖然約伯的這三個朋友是年高德紹的長輩，但是智慧是來自上帝的靈，他雖然年輕，但是卻不一定是沒有智慧的人，看到約伯的言語，讓三位長輩無力折服約伯，所以他認為這三人不得算為有智慧之人。
我們可以看出以利戶，是一個自信滿滿，熱血澎湃的年輕人，他認為自己一定可以駁倒約伯，因為有上帝的智慧與他同在。(三十二14))。
基本上以利戶發言的動機是「為上帝辯護」他的觀點是「人有權利向上帝抱怨嗎？」他認為是沒有，甚至他認為約伯這樣向上帝抱怨本身就是在犯罪。當他看到約伯的三個朋友無力反駁約伯時，他的內心滿腔熱血，再也忍不住要跳出來指責約伯的不是。
看到以利戶的為上帝大發熱心，你會想到誰呢？我會想到未信主的「掃羅」。掃羅很愛上帝，所以認為那些信耶穌的扭曲了上帝的道，所以他為上帝大發熱心，捆綁、逼迫那些信奉耶穌之名的人。當我們為上帝大發義怒時，有時候也要很小心，因為上帝的膀臂並沒有縮短，上帝的能力並沒有減少。只是我們熱心過頭，很容易讓自己失控，不是嗎？
他生氣，題目: 以利戶發言的動機為何，你對此有何看法呢？
32:1 於是這三個人，因約伯自以為義就不再回答他。
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. to...: Heb. from answering
32:2 那時有布西人蘭族巴拉迦的兒子以利戶向約伯發怒；因約伯自以為義，不以 神為義。

32:3 他又向約伯的三個朋友發怒；因為他們想不出回答的話來，仍以約伯為有罪。
Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
32:4 以利戶要與約伯說話，就等候他們，因為他們比自己年老。
Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he. waited...: Heb. expected Job in words elder: Heb. elder for days
32:5 以利戶見這三個人口中無話回答，就怒氣發作。

32:6 布西人巴拉迦的兒子以利戶回答說：我年輕，你們老邁；因此我退讓，不敢向你們陳說我的意見。

32:7 我說，年老的當先說話；壽高的當以智慧教訓人。
I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
32:8 但在人裡面有靈；全能者的氣使人有聰明。
But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
32:9 尊貴的不都有智慧；壽高的不都能明白公平。
Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
32:10 因此我說：你們要聽我言；我也要陳說我的意見。
Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
32:11 你們查究所要說的話；那時我等候你們的話，側耳聽你們的辯論，
Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say. reasons: Heb. understandings what...: Heb. words
32:12 留心聽你們；誰知你們中間無一人折服約伯，駁倒他的話。
Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
32:13 你們切不可說：我們尋得智慧； 神能勝他，人卻不能。
Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
32:14 約伯沒有向我爭辯；我也不用你們的話回答他。
Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches. directed: or, ordered
32:15 他們驚奇不再回答，一言不發。
They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking. left...: Heb. removed speeches from themselves
32:16 我豈因他們不說話，站住不再回答，仍舊等候呢？
When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
32:17 我也要回答我的一分話，陳說我的意見。
I said , I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
32:18 因為我的言語滿懷；我裡面的靈激動我。
For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me. matter: Heb. words spirit...: Heb. spirit of my belly
32:19 我的胸懷如盛酒之囊沒有出氣之縫，又如新皮袋快要破裂。

32:20 我要說話，使我舒暢；我要開口回答。
I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer. be...: Heb. breathe
32:21 我必不看人的情面，也不奉承人。
Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
32:22 我不曉得奉承；若奉承，造我的主必快快除滅我。
For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
