Job 32:6-10
New American Standard Bible
King James Version
Chapter 32
6And 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. 7I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. 8But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. 9Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. 10Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 32
6So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite replied: I am young in years, while you are old; therefore I was timid and afraid to tell you what I know. 7I thought that age should speak and maturity should teach wisdom. 8But it is the spirit in a person-- the breath from the Almighty-- that gives anyone understanding. 9It is not only the old who are wise or the elderly who understand how to judge. 10Therefore I say, "Listen to me. I too will declare what I know."New Living Translation
Chapter 32
6Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite said, 'I am young and you are old, so I held back from telling you what I think. 7I thought, ‘Those who are older should speak, for wisdom comes with age.’ 8But there is a spirit within people, the breath of the Almighty within them, that makes them intelligent. 9Sometimes the elders are not wise. Sometimes the aged do not understand justice. 10So listen to me, and let me tell you what I think.English Standard Version
