Job 32:6-9
Lexham English Bible
6 Then Elihu the son of Barakel the Buzite spoke up[a] and said,
“I am young,[b] but[c] you[d] are old;
therefore I feared and became afraid of explaining my knowledge to you.[e]
7 I thought,[f] ‘Let days[g] speak,
and let many years teach wisdom.’
8 “Truly, it is a spirit in a human being,
and the breath of Shaddai teaches them.
9 It is not the aged[h] who are wise,
or[i] it is not the elders who understand justice.
Job 32:6-9
New Living Translation
6 Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite said,
“I am young and you are old,
so I held back from telling you what I think.
7 I thought, ‘Those who are older should speak,
for wisdom comes with age.’
8 But there is a spirit[a] within people,
the breath of the Almighty within them,
that makes them intelligent.
9 Sometimes the elders are not wise.
Sometimes the aged do not understand justice.
