Job 32

Job 32:7

I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.

I said, as in good manners I ought; Those, that are ancient and full of days, should speak; and those, that had many years’ experience, should be most able to teach wisdom to their younger.

Job 32:8

But there is a spirit in man.

But I see, all is not in age: there is a spirit of God, which, breathing where it listeth, maketh a difference in man.

Job 32:13

Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.

Do not think, or say, that you have, by your great wisdom, convinced Job, upon this ground, that God hath afflicted him, not man; and God, being just, punishes none but a sinner, therefore Job is a hypocrite: I shall go another way to work with him.

Job 32:22

For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.

I dare not sooth up and flatter any man in a false conceit: if I should so do, I know God would be sure to be speedily avenged of me.
