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
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite replied:
I am young in years,
while you are old;
therefore I was timid and afraid
to tell(A) you what I know.
7 I thought that age should speak
and maturity should teach wisdom.
8 But it is a spirit in man[a]
and the breath(B) of the Almighty
that give him understanding.
9 It is not only the old who are wise
or the elderly who understand how to judge.
