Beware lest you say, ‘We have found wisdom, God may refute him, not man;’
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
Beware lest you say, ‘We have found wisdom. God may refute him, not man;’
So do not claim, ‘We have found wisdom; let God, not man, refute him.’
Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man:
Take care that you do not say, Wisdom is here; God may overcome him, but not man.
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
Matthew Henry · Verses 6–14
Elihu professes to speak by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and corrects both parties. He allowed that those who had the longest experience should speak first. But God gives wisdom as he pleases; this encouraged him to state his opinion. By attention to the word of God, and dependence upon the Holy Spirit, young men may become wiser than the aged; but this wisdom will render them swift to hear, slow to speak, and disposed to give others a patient hearing.
