Job 32:6-13

1. 6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.

2. 7 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.

3. 8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

4. 9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

5. 10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.

6. 11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.

7. 12 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:

8. 13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
