NASB
""I thought age should speak, And increased years should teach wisdom."
— Job 32:7, NASB
“I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.”
“I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom. ”
“I said, 'Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.'”
“I said to myself,‘Age should speak, and length of years should make wisdom known.’”
“For I hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.”
“I said to myself, It is right for the old to say what is in their minds, and for those who are far on in years to give out wisdom.”
“I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.”
Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were years older than he.
And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men his anger burned.
So Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite spoke out and said, "I am young in years and you are old; Therefore I was shy and afraid to tell you what I think.
"I thought age should speak, And increased years should teach wisdom.
"But it is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.
"The abundant in years may not be wise, Nor may elders understand justice.
"So I say, 'Listen to me, I too will tell what I think.'
