Exegesis
The placement of banu {בָּנוּ | bānû} ‘with us’ after the two age descriptors foregrounds group solidarity and authority: the speaker claims that such elders belong to his side of the dispute.
In context — Job 15:10
Both the gray-haired and the very aged are with us , greater in days than your father.
