"It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice. "
— Job 32:9, American Standard Version
“Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.”
“It is not the great who are wise, nor the aged who understand justice.”
“It is not the aged who are wise, nor old men who understand what is right.”
“They that are aged are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgment.”
“It is not the old who are wise, and those who are full of years have not the knowledge of what is right.”
“Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.”
And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion.
I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.
But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice.
Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show mine opinion.
Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, Whilst ye searched out what to say.
Yea, I attended unto you, And, behold, there was none that convinced Job, Or that answered his words, among you.
