Job 32:6-12 Good News Bible (GNB)

6. and began to speak.I am young, and you are old,so I was afraid to tell you what I think.

7. I told myself that you ought to speak,that you older men should share your wisdom.

8. But it is the Spirit of Almighty Godthat comes to human beings and gives them wisdom.

9. It is not growing old that makes people wiseor helps them to know what is right.

10. So now I want you to listen to me;let me tell you what I think.

11. I listened patiently while you were speakingand waited while you searched for wise phrases.

12. I paid close attention and heard you fail;you have not disproved what Job has said.
