Job 32:7-13 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

7. "I thought age should speak, And increased years should teach wisdom.

8. "But it is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.

9. "The abundant in years may not be wise, Nor may elders understand justice.

10. "So I say, 'Listen to me, I too will tell what I think.'

11. "Behold, I waited for your words, I listened to your reasonings, While you pondered what to say.

12. "I even paid close attention to you; Indeed, there was no one who refuted Job, Not one of you who answered his words.

13. "Do not say, 'We have found wisdom; God will rout him, not man.'
