Job 12:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.

Give me teaching and I will be quiet; and make me see my error.

Put the question now to the past generations, and give attention to what has been searched out by their fathers:

Are all these words to go unanswered? and is a man seen to be right because he is full of talk?

Will a wise man make answer with knowledge of no value, or will he give birth to the east wind?

You have kept their hearts from wisdom: for this cause you will not give them honour.

I have to give ear to arguments which put me to shame, and your answers to me are wind without wisdom.

I said to myself, It is right for the old to say what is in their minds, and for those who are far on in years to give out wisdom.

The man of wealth seems to himself to be wise, but the poor man who has sense has a low opinion of him.

Cursed are those who seem wise to themselves, and who take pride in their knowledge!

We are made to seem foolish for Christ, but you are wise in Christ; we are feeble, but you are strong; you have glory, but we have shame.

I say this to put you to shame. Is there not among you one wise man who may be able to give a decision between his brothers?
