“But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.”
But it is the spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand, asserting that wisdom does not derive solely from age but from the spirit—divine gift—that God provides, suggesting that wisdom might be possessed by the young if they have received divine spirit. The spirit in a man suggests divine gift rather than mere accumulated experience. The breath of the Almighty suggests divine inspiration. The verse challenges the assumption that age automatically brings wisdom.
