6. 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.
7. I said to myself, ‘Age should speak,and length of years should make wisdom known.’
8. But it is a spirit in people,the breath of the Almighty,that makes them understand.
9. It is not the aged who are wise,nor old men who understand what is right.
10. Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me.I, even I, will explain what I know.’
11. Look, I waited for you to speak;I listened closely to your wise thoughts,while you were searching for words.
