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)
Job 32:6-9
New King James Version
6 So Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, answered and said:
“I am (A)young in years, and you are very old;
Therefore I was afraid,
And dared not declare my opinion to you.
7 I said, [a]‘Age should speak,
And multitude of years should teach wisdom.’
8 But there is a spirit in man,
And (B)the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
9 (C)Great[b] men are not always wise,
Nor do the aged always understand justice.
