Young, yet given understanding

6Then Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite answered and said, “I am young, and you are old; therefore I held back and was afraid to tell you what I know.”

7I thought, ‘Age should speak, and many years should make wisdom known.’

8But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.

9It is not the great who are wise, nor the old who understand judgment.

10Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me; I too will tell what I know.’
