It is not the great who are wise, nor the aged who understand justice.
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
It is not the great who are wise, nor the aged who understand justice.
It is not only the old who are wise, or the elderly who understand justice.
Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice.
It is not the old who are wise, and those who are full of years have not the knowledge of what is right.
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.
