3 He was angry also with the three friends because they had not found a good answer and had not condemned Job.
4 But since these men were older than he, Elihu bided his time before addressing Job.
5 When, however, Elihu saw that there was no reply in the mouths of the three men, his wrath was inflamed.
6 So Elihu, son of Barachel the Buzite, answered and said:I am young and you are very old;therefore I held back and was afraidto declare to you my knowledge.
7 I thought, days should speak,and many years teach wisdom!
8 But there is a spirit in human beings,the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.
9 It is not those of many days who are wise,nor the aged who understand the right.
