Job 32:6-9
World English Bible
6 Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered,
“I am young, and you are very old;
Therefore I held back, and didn’t dare show you my opinion.
7 I said, ‘Days should speak,
and multitude of years should teach wisdom.’
8 But there is a spirit in man,
and the Spirit[a] of the Almighty gives them understanding.
9 It is not the great who are wise,
nor the aged who understand justice.

New American Standard Bible
6 So Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite [a]spoke out and said,
“I am young in years and you are (A)old;
Therefore I was shy and afraid to tell you [b]what I think.
7 I [c]thought [d](B)age should speak,
And [e]increased years should teach wisdom.
8 But it is a spirit that is in mankind,
And the (C)breath of the Almighty gives them (D)understanding.
9 The [f]abundant in years may not be wise,
Nor may (E)elders understand justice.
