Job 32:6-14

New International Version NIV

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.

10 “Therefore I say: Listen to me; I too will tell you what I know.

11 I waited while you spoke, I listened to your reasoning; while you were searching for words,

12 I gave you my full attention. But not one of you has proved Job wrong; none of you has answered his arguments.

13 Do not say, ‘We have found wisdom; let God, not a man, refute him.’

14 But Job has not marshaled his words against me, and I will not answer him with your arguments.
