Old Testament

New Testament

Job 32:4-9 New International Version (NIV)

4. Now Elihu had waited before speaking to Job because they were older than he.

5. But when he saw that the three men had nothing more to say, his anger was aroused.

6. So Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite said: “I am young in years, and you are old; 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.’

8. But it is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.

9. It is not only the old who are wise, not only the aged who understand what is right.
