Job 32:6

Elihu Rebukes Job And His Three Friends

⁵ And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouths of these three men, he burned with anger. ⁶ Then Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite said,

“I am young, and you are aged;
For that reason I was anxious and dared not tell you what I think.
⁷
“I thought age should speak,
And a multitude of years should teach wisdom.
