Job 32:8 - Compare All Versions

Deli

This is what Elihu, son of Barakel the Buzite, said: “I’m a young man, and you are all old and experienced. That’s why I kept quiet and held back from joining the discussion. I kept thinking, ‘Experience will tell. The longer you live, the wiser you become.’ But I see I was wrong—it’s God’s Spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty One, that makes wise human insight possible. The experts have no corner on wisdom; getting old doesn’t guarantee good sense. So I’ve decided to speak up. Listen well! I’m going to tell you exactly what I think.

But there is a spirit in man: And the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

But it is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.

But it is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives understanding.

“But there is [a vital force and] a spirit [of intelligence] in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding. [Prov 2:6]

But there is a spirit within people, the breath of the Almighty within them, that makes them intelligent.

But it is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand.
