"It is not the aged who are wise, nor old men who understand what is right."
— Job 32:9, NET Bible
“Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.”
“It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice. ”
“It is not the great who are wise, nor the aged who understand justice.”
“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.”
Elihu Claims Wisdom So Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite spoke up:“I am young, but you are elderly; that is why I was fearful, and afraid to explain to you what I know.
I said to myself,‘Age should speak, and length of years should make wisdom known.’
But it is a spirit in people, the breath of the Almighty, that makes them understand.
It is not the aged who are wise, nor old men who understand what is right.
Therefore I say,‘Listen to me. I, even I, will explain what I know.’
Look, I waited for you to speak; I listened closely to your wise thoughts, while you were searching for words.
Now I was paying you close attention, yet there was no one proving Job wrong, not one of you was answering his statements!
