3 Elihu was also angry with Job’s three friends who had no answer to show that Job was wrong, yet continued to blame him.
4 Elihu had waited before speaking to Job, because the three friends were older than he was.
5 But when Elihu saw that the three men had nothing more to say, he became very angry.
6 So Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite said this:“I am young,and you are old.That is why I was afraidto tell you what I know.
7 I thought, ‘Older people should speak,and those who have lived many years should teach wisdom.’
8 But it is the spirit in a person,the breath of the Almighty, that gives understanding.
9 It is not just older people who are wise;they are not the only ones who understand what is right.
