When years of number shall come, and the way I shall go I shall not turn back

Wherefore do, lawless men, live, advance in years, even wax mighty in power?

So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite replied:

I am young in years,
while you are old;
therefore I was timid and afraid
to tell you what I know.

I said to myself, It is right for the old to say what is in their minds, and for those who are far on in years to give out wisdom.

“The abundant in years may not be wise,
Nor may elders understand justice.
