Job 32:8 Context
6And Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite answered and sayd: I am yong, and yee are very old, wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion. 7I said, Dayes should speake, and multitude of yeeres should teach wisedome. 8But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almightie giueth them vnderstanding. 9Great men are not alwayes wise: neither doe the aged vnderstand iudgement. 10Therfore I sayd, Hearken to me: I also will shew mine opinion.
