Job 32:6-9
Lexham English Bible

6 Then Elihu the son of Barakel the Buzite spoke up[a] and said,

“I am young,[b] but[c] you[d] are old;
therefore I feared and became afraid of explaining my knowledge to you.[e]
7 I thought,[f] ‘Let days[g] speak,
and let many years teach wisdom.’
8 “Truly, it is a spirit in a human being,
and the breath of Shaddai teaches them.
9 It is not the aged[h] who are wise,
or[i] it is not the elders who understand justice.

Job 32:6-9
New International Version

6 So Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite said:

“I am young in years,
    and you are old;(A)
that is why I was fearful,
    not daring to tell you what I know.
7 I thought, ‘Age should speak;
    advanced years should teach wisdom.’(B)
8 But it is the spirit[a](C) in a person,
    the breath of the Almighty,(D) that gives them understanding.(E)
9 It is not only the old[b] who are wise,(F)
    not only the aged(G) who understand what is right.(H)
