Job 32:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 32:6

4 Now because they were years older than he, Elihu had waited to speak to Job.

5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was aroused.

6 So Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, answered and said:
“I am ^ayoung in years, and you are very old;
Therefore I was afraid,
And dared not declare my opinion to you.

7 I said,¹ ‘Age should speak,
And multitude of years should teach wisdom.’

8 But there is a spirit in man,
And ^athe breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.

9 ^aGreat¹ men are not always wise,
Nor do the aged always understand justice.
