“I am young,
    and you are very old;
therefore I was afraid
    and dared not show you my opinion.
⁷ I said, ‘Age should speak,
    and multitude of years should teach wisdom.’
⁸ But there is a spirit in man,
    and the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
⁹ Great men are not always wise,
    nor do the aged always understand judgment.
