Job 32:3-8 English Standard Version (ESV)

3. He burned with anger also at Job’s three friends because they had found no answer, although they had declared Job to be in the wrong.

4. Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were older than he.

5. And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, he burned with anger.

6. And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said:“I am young in years,and you are aged;therefore I was timid and afraidto declare my opinion to you.

7. I said, ‘Let days speak,and many years teach wisdom.’

8. But it is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand.
