Job 32:6-9
Legacy Standard Bible
6 So Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said,
“I am young in years and you are (A)old;
Therefore I was shy and afraid to tell you my knowledge.
7 I [a]thought [b](B)age should speak,
And [c]increased years should make wisdom known.
8 But it is a spirit in man,
And the (C)breath of the Almighty gives them (D)understanding.
9 The [d]abundant in years may not be wise,
Nor may (E)elders 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)
