New Testament

Job 32:6-13 Common English Bible (CEB)

6. Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite said:I’m young and you’re old,so I held back, afraid to express my opinion to you.

7. I thought, Let days speak;let multiple years make wisdom known.

8. But the spirit in a person,the Almighty’s breath, gives understanding.

9. The advanced in days aren’t wise;the old don’t understand what’s right.

10. Therefore, I say: "Listen to me;I’ll state my view, even I."

11. Look, I waited while you spoke,listened while you reasoned,while you searched for words.

12. I was attentive to you,but you offered no rebuke to Job,no answer from you for his words.

13. Be careful you don’t say, "We’ve found wisdom;God, not a person, will defeat him."
