Verse 9 is found in chapter 32 of Job. Elihu appears after Job and his three friends have stopped responding. He presents himself as younger and explains that he had remained silent out of respect for the age of the others. His intervention introduces a different voice into the debate, although he shares some concerns with the friends regarding divine justice.

Die Großen sind nicht immer die Weisesten, und die Alten verstehen nicht das Recht.
No los grandes son los sabios, Ni los viejos entienden el derecho.
No siempre los de mucha edad son sabios ni los ancianos comprenden el derecho.
Ce n'est pas l'âge qui procure la sagesse, Ce n'est pas la vieillesse qui rend capable de juger.
I maggiori non son sempre savi; E i vecchi non intendono sempre la dirittura.
Os grandes não são os sábios, nem os velhos entendem o que é direito.
壽高的不都有智慧, 年老的不都明白公平。
