7 I thought that age should speakand maturity should teach wisdom.
8 But it is a spirit in man and the breath of the Almightythat give him understanding.
9 It is not only the old who are wiseor the elderly who understand how to judge.
10 Therefore I say, “Listen to me.I too will declare what I know.”
11 Look, I waited for your conclusions;I listened to your insightsas you sought for words.
12 I paid close attention to you.Yet no one proved Job wrong;not one of you refuted his arguments.
13 So do not claim, “We have found wisdom;let God deal with him, not man.”
