Job 32:7-9
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

7 For I hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.

8 But, as I see, there is a spirit in men, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding.

9 They that are aged are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgment.
