6And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion.

7I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.

8But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

9It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice.

10Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show mine opinion.

11Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, Whilst ye searched out what to say.

12Yea, I attended unto you, And, behold, there was none that convinced Job, Or that answered his words, among you.
