Job 32:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ I said, ‘Let days speak,
    and many years teach wisdom.’
⁸ But truly it is the spirit in a mortal,
    the breath of the Almighty,^[a] that makes for understanding.
⁹ It is not the old^[b] that are wise,
    nor the aged that understand what is right.
