“With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.”
King James Version (KJV)
12:12 Wisdom - These words contain a concession of what Bildad had said, chap.#8:8|,9, and a joining with him in that appeal; but withal, an intimation that this wisdom was but imperfect, and liable to many mistakes; and indeed mere ignorance and folly, if compared with the Divine wisdom, and therefore that antiquity ought not to be received against the truths of the most wise God.
With the ancient is wisedome, and in length of dayes, vnderstanding.
