This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
6 So now Elihi (son of Barakel the Buzite) spoke up:
I’m only young and all of you are much older than me,
so I was shy and reluctant to give you all my views.
7 I told myself to let the elders speak,
≈and to let those with much experience share their wisdom.
8 However, each person has a spirit,
≈and the provider’s breath gives us understanding.
9 Not so many people are wise,
and older people don’t necessarily understand what’s right.
I too will declare what I know.
11 Listen, I waited for your words.
I listened to your wise sayings
while you all searched for the right words.
12 I gave you all my full attention, but listen,
none of you could refute Iyyov
13 So don’t tell yourselves that you displayed wisdom.
It’s God who must refute him—not any person.
