Job 32:6-9

The Voice

Elihu: I am a young man,
        and you are my wise elders,
    So I have been here shyly creeping about in the background,
        timid about sharing my opinion with you.
⁷     I thought to myself, “Age should speak first;
        those advanced in years will teach wisdom.”
⁸     But alas, it turns out it is the spirit in a man, not age,
        and the breath of the Highest One^[a] within him that lends understanding.
⁹     In fact, sometimes it is neither the great who are wise
        nor the elderly who have an understanding of justice.
