And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said:

“I am young in years,
    and you are (A)aged;
therefore I was timid and afraid
    to declare my opinion to you.
I said, ‘Let days speak,
    and many years teach wisdom.’
But it is (B)the spirit in man,
    (C)the breath of the Almighty, that makes him (D)understand.
(E)It is not the old[a] who are wise,
    nor the aged who understand what is right.
