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.
12. Now I was paying you close attention,yet there was no one proving Job wrong,not one of you was answering his statements!
