Job 32:4
Compare all
2 Then the wrath of Elihu, the son of Barachel the aBuzite, of the family of Ram, was aroused against Job; his wrath was aroused because he bjustified himself rather than God.  
3 Also against his three friends his wrath was aroused, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
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.
