7 I said, ‘Days should speak, and many years should teach wisdom.’
8 But truly it is the spirit in man and the breath of the Almighty that gives him understanding.
9 The multitude are not wise, nor do the aged understand right-ruling.
10 Therefore I have said, ‘Listen to me, let me also make my opinion known to you.’
11 Look, I waited for your words, I listened to your reasonings, while you searched out what to say.
12 And I paid close attention to you. But look, not one of you proved Iyoḇ wrong, nor answered his words.
13 Lest you say, ‘We have found wisdom’ – it is Ěl that drives him away, not man.
