Job 32:7-9
New American Standard Bible

7 I [a]thought [b](A)age should speak,
And [c]increased years should teach wisdom.
8 But it is a spirit that is in mankind,
And the (B)breath of the Almighty gives them (C)understanding.
9 The [d]abundant in years may not be wise,
Nor may (D)elders understand justice.

Job 32:7-9
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015

7 (A) Jag tänkte: ”Åldern ska tala
    och de många åren
        förkunna vishet.”
8 (B) Men det beror på anden
        i människan,
    den Allsmäktiges livsfläkt
        ger henne förstånd.
9 (C) Det är inte åldern som ger vishet
    eller bara gamla som förstår
        vad som är rätt.
