In the context of the Book of Job, this sentiment is expressed by Elihu, a younger man who has been listening to the dialogue between Job and his three friends. The expectation is that those who have lived longer have accumulated knowledge and insight. This idea is echoed in other parts of Scripture, such as <a href="/proverbs/16-31.htm">Proverbs 16:31</a>, which states, "Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life." However, Elihu's speech challenges this notion by suggesting that true wisdom comes from God, not merely from age.<p><b>and many years should teach wisdom</b><br>The belief that wisdom is a product of many years is deeply rooted in the cultural and historical context of the ancient Near East. Elders were often revered as leaders and decision-makers within the community. This is evident in the structure of Israelite society, where elders held positions of authority and were consulted for their counsel, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/32-7.htm">Deuteronomy 32:7</a>, "Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations; ask your father, and he will show you, your elders, and they will tell you." However, Elihu's argument introduces a theological perspective that wisdom is ultimately a gift from God, as seen in <a href="/james/1-5.htm">James 1:5</a>, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him." This challenges the assumption that wisdom is solely a function of age, emphasizing instead the role of divine revelation and the Holy Spirit in imparting true understanding.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/elihu.htm">Elihu</a></b><br>A young man who speaks after Job's three friends have finished their discourse.
