I understand more than the older leaders\par because I keep your commands.\par
\{We say,\}\par ‘Wisdom is to be found in old people.\par Long life brings understanding.’\par
And God said to people,\par “Fear and respect the Lord—\par that is wisdom.\par Don’t do evil things—\par that is understanding.”\par
Elihu was the youngest person there, so he had waited until everyone was finished talking. Then he felt like he could begin to talk.
Wisdom begins with fear and respect\par for God.\par People who obey God are very wise.\par Praises will be sung to God forever.\par
Help me understand,\par and I will obey your teachings.\par I will obey them completely.\par
“Every person that hears these things I say and obeys is like a wise man. The wise man built his house on rock.
Is there any person among you who is truly wise and understanding? Then he should show his wisdom by living right. He should do good things with humility. A wise person does not boast.
