Job 32:7-9
Wycliffe Bible

7 For I hoped that [the] longer age should speak, and that the multitude of years should teach wisdom.

8 But as I see now, a spirit is in men, and the inspiration, either revelation, of Almighty God giveth understanding.

9 Men of long life be not (always) wise, and eld men understand not doom. (Men of long life do not always be wise, nor do old men always have judgement, or know what is right.)
