4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were older.
5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his anger was aroused.
6 Then Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite responded and said: “I am young in days and you are old; that is why I was timid and dared not to tell what I know.
7 I thought, ‘Let days speak, and many years teach wisdom.’
8 But there is a spirit in people, the breath of Shaddai that gives them understanding.
9 It is not only the aged who are wise or old men who understand justice.
10 “Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me! I, even I, will explain what I know.’
