So Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite said:“ I am young in years, and you are old; that is why I was fearful, not daring to tell you what I know.

Elihu the Buzite, the son of Barakel, said,“ I’m young, and you are old. So I was afraid to tell you what I know.

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said:“ I am young in years, and you are aged; therefore I was timid and afraid to declare my opinion to you.

Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite said,“ I am young and you are old, so I held back from telling you what I think.

So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite replied: I am young in years, while you are old; therefore I was timid and afraid to tell you what I know.

So Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite spoke out and said,“ I am young in years and you are old; Therefore I was shy and afraid to tell you what I think.

So Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, answered and said:“ I am young in years, and you are very old; Therefore I was afraid, And dared not declare my opinion to you.

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion.

我們這裏有白髮的和年老的，比你父親還年長。

同樣，你們年輕的，要順服年長的。你們大家都要以謙卑當衣服穿上，彼此順服，因為「上帝抵擋驕傲的人，但賜恩給謙卑的人。」

不可嚴責老年人，要勸他如同父親。要待年輕人如同弟兄，

凡人所當得的，就給他。當得糧的，給他納糧；當得稅的，給他上稅；當懼怕的，懼怕他；當恭敬的，恭敬他。

「你是頭一個生下來的人嗎？你受造在諸山之先嗎？

「在白髮的人面前，你要站起來，要尊敬老人；要敬畏你的上帝，我是耶和華。

同樣，要勸年輕人凡事克己。

大衛的長兄以利押聽見大衛與他們所說的話，就向他發怒，說：「你下來做甚麼呢？在曠野的那幾隻羊，你交託誰了呢？我知道你的驕傲和你心裏的惡意，你下來只是為了看戰爭！」大衛說：「我現在做了甚麼呢？只是問一句話也不可以嗎？」大衛離開他轉向別人，問了同樣的事，百姓也照先前的話回答他。
