Job 32:8 in context

  1. 6Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered,

    and multitude of years should teach wisdom.’

    and the Spirit of the Almighty gives them understanding.

    nor the aged who understand justice.
  5. 10Therefore I said, ‘Listen to me;
    I also will show my opinion.’
