## Job 32:7-13 in Context (Verses 4–16 KJV)
 
 [4 ](/kjv/job/32/4) Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they *were* elder than he.**
 
 [5 ](/kjv/job/32/5) When Elihu saw that *there was* no answer in the mouth of *these* three men, then his wrath was kindled.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/job/32/6) And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I *am* young, and ye *are* very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.**
 
 [7 ](/kjv/job/32/7) I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/job/32/8) But *there is* a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/job/32/9) Great men are not *always* wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/job/32/10) Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/job/32/11) Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.**
 
 [12 ](/kjv/job/32/12) Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, *there was* none of you that convinced Job, *or* that answered his words:
 
 [13 ](/kjv/job/32/13) Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/job/32/14) Now he hath not directed *his* words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.*
 
 [15 ](/kjv/job/32/15) They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.*
 
 [16 ](/kjv/job/32/16) When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, *and* answered no more;)
