8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
8 But it is the spirit
8 But it is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand.
8 But I see I was wrong - it's God's Spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty One, that makes wise human insight possible.
8 But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
8 But there is a spirit within people, the breath of the Almighty within them, that makes them intelligent.
4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
4 The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
4 The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
4 The Spirit of God made me what I am, the breath of God Almighty gave me life! God Always Answers, One Way or Another
4 The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
4 For the Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
(Read Job 33:1-7)
Job had desired a judge to decide his appeal. Elihu was one according to his wish, a man like himself. If we would rightly convince men, it must be by reason, not by terror; by fair argument, not by a heavy hand.
6 I am the same as you in God's sight; I too am a piece of clay.
6 Behold, I am toward God as you are; I too was pinched off from a piece of clay.
6 Look, I'm human - no better than you; we're both made of the same kind of mud.
6 Truly I am as your spokesman before God; I also have been formed out of clay.
6 Look, you and I both belong to God. I, too, was formed from clay.

Commentary on Job 32:6-14
(Read Job 32:6-14)
Elihu professes to speak by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and corrects both parties. He allowed that those who had the longest experience should speak first. But God gives wisdom as he pleases; this encouraged him to state his opinion. By attention to the word of God, and dependence upon the Holy Spirit, young men may become wiser than the aged; but this wisdom will render them swift to hear, slow to speak, and disposed to give others a patient hearing.
