Job 32:6-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answered:
“I am young in years,
and you are aged;
therefore I was timid and afraid
to declare my opinion to you.(A)
7 I said, ‘Let days speak
and many years teach wisdom.’
8 But truly it is the spirit in a mortal,
the breath of the Almighty[a] that makes for understanding.(B)
9 It is not the old[b] who are wise
nor the aged who understand what is right.(C)
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)
