Job 32:8

But it is a spirit in people, the breath ¹  of the Almighty, that makes them understand.

But it is the spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.

"But it is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.

Surely it is God’s Spirit within people, the breath of the Almighty within them, that makes them intelligent.

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.

But truly it is the spirit in man, even the breath of the Ruler of all, which gives them knowledge.

But truly it is the spirit in a mortal, the breath of the Almighty, that makes for understanding.

But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.

But it is a spirit in people, the breath ¹  of the Almighty, that makes them understand.

¹ tn This is the word נְשָׁמָה (nÿshamah, “breath”); according to Gen 2:7 it was breathed into Adam to make him a living person (“soul”). With that divine impartation came this spiritual understanding. Some commentators identify the רוּחַ (ruakh) in the first line as the Spirit of God; this “breath” would then be the human spirit. Whether Elihu knew that much, however, is hard to prove.
