Job 32:6-8

The Voice

^5-6but when Elihu (Barachel’s son from Buz) realized the three men’s words were spent, his anger inflamed him.

Elihu: I am a young man,
        and you are my wise elders,
    So I have been here shyly creeping about in the background,
        timid about sharing my opinion with you.
⁷    I thought to myself, “Age should speak first;
        those advanced in years will teach wisdom.”
⁸    But alas, it turns out it is the spirit in a man, not age,
        and the breath of the Highest One^[a] within him that lends understanding.
