9Great men are not alwayes wise: neither doe the aged vnderstand iudgement.Select Job 32:9

11Behold, I waited for your words: I gaue eare to your reasons, whilest you searched out what to say.Select Job 32:11

13Lest ye should say, We haue found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.Select Job 32:13

14Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answere him with your speeches.Select Job 32:14

15They were amased, they answered no more, they left off speaking.Select Job 32:15

16When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more.)Select Job 32:16

17I sayd, I will answere also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.Select Job 32:17
