Job 32:7-13
New King James Version
7 I said, [a]‘Age should speak,
And multitude of years should teach wisdom.’
8 But there is a spirit in man,
And (A)the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
9 (B)Great[b] men are not always wise,
Nor do the aged always understand justice.
10 “Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me,
I also will declare my opinion.’
11 Indeed I waited for your words,
I listened to your reasonings, while you searched out what to say.
12 I paid close attention to you;
And surely not one of you convinced Job,
Or answered his words—
13 (C)Lest you say,
‘We have found wisdom’;
God will vanquish him, not man.
